Childhelp Orange County Chapter 10th Annual Fall Gala
WHEN:
Saturday, Oct 21, 2023 from 6:00pm to 11:00pm
WHERE:
Newport Beach Country Club
One Clubhouse Drive
Newport Beach, CA 92660
Our “P.S. I Love You” Fall Gala will be a mid-century modern, retro-chic inspired gala! Join us as we travel back in time to the glamorous nights of the 50’s and 60’s era Palm Springs, when Hollywood A-Listers made Palm Springs their getaway destination filled with glamorous parties in the warm desert oasis. This will be a festive evening celebrating like a star with an evening of fabulous entertainment, dinner, dancing, and vintage cocktails.
This will be a fun night, with the beautiful Pacific Ocean as a backdrop, to help the cause we all hold dear in our hearts.
Auction Bidding Will Be Done Via Smartphone
We’ll once again have casino gaming and silent and live auctions with our brilliant and entertaining auctioneer Zack Krone helping to bring in funds for the children.
This year we are pleased to honor Kristen James/Good Buy James, our long time Childhelp OC member, for all her years of support, dedication and generosity by bestowing her with the Benevolent Heart Award.
