DATE: Saturday, May 20, 2023
TIME: 5-11pm
WHERE: Shakespeare Club of Pasadena

Come have a blast with us at the 50th Anniversary Gala!

Fifty years of Cottage calls for a 1950s Prom. Wear your prettiest gown, or choose to go more casual in your best jeans. Dressing up is completely optional.

We'll enjoy cocktail hour piano and songs.

Hamburgers, french fries & root beer floats will be served.

Dance the night away to the swingingest tunes! At the Shakespeare Club!

Our big goal is to raise $800,000 through the gala and other donations and sponsors. All proceeds go to buying the Cottage house - and the night of the gala, we'll have a Live Auction where everyone can help contribute to the community's goal.

Don't forget to register for the Live Auction now: https://givebutter.com/c/cotta...

Don't have a sitter? Trusted Cottage sitter Meredith&Co is waving their yearly membership for their babysitting service that night. Fee is $25/hour. If you need a sitter, contact Meredith Anderson: meredith@meredithandcompany.com and tell her you're with Cottage.

The Future Fund (for the Caltrans building purchase):

The Gala will raise funds to buy our house at 169 Arlington Drive. The owner, Caltrans, will be selling Cottage, and we have the first right of refusal to purchase the building. They will be contacting us by summer to move forward with this sale. This is our unique opportunity to support Cottage continuing in the current format at this location.
