Press release from: Hillsides

Hillsides, a premier provider in Los Angeles County dedicated to improving the overall functioning and well-being of children, youth, and families in crisis, will be hosting its annual fundraising gala. The gala, set to be held on February 22, 2014, is being chaired by Susan Pinsky. She and her husband Dr. Drew Pinsky have been involved with Hillsides for over 10 years.
This year’s gala theme is “A Celebration of Art.” The gala will celebrate the fact that at heart, Hillsides is an artist. It shapes children’s potential and nurtures their well-being. Hillsides also uses music and art to bring out the best in a child. Drawing a picture or writing a song is essential for self-reflection and self-acceptance.
Hillsides’ yearly gala is the largest fundraiser of the year and a chance for Hillsides supporters to gather together and participate in a dinner, silent auction, paddle auction, and live auction. Love, life, art, and giving will all be celebrated on this special night.
