United Cerebral Palsy of Los Angeles Art of Care 70th Anniversary Celebration Back

  This first annual Art of Care fundraising event celebrated UCPLA's seven decades of service. More than 400 guests packed Hangar 8 in Santa Monica to enjoy the program, silent auction, art gallery and Valet Lounge with cuisine provided by APC. The event raised nearly $400,000! UCPLA also honored two of their extraordinary caregivers: Creola Howard, and musician Brandon Mendenhall. It was an honor to work again with YourBASH! on this wonderful charitable event. We were very grateful for the opportunity to work with Step up on Second to provide leftover food to those in need. http://www.stepuponsecond.org/services/home/   See more event photos and the complete menu below.
