Volunteer Center Heart to Heart Gala
Friday, April 25th, 6:00 PM – 9:30 PM PDT
In Person
The Volunteer Center is excited to host our Heart-to-Heart fundraising event once again on Friday April 25, 2025 at the Shade Hotel in Redondo Beach. We are offering underwriting and sponsorship opportunities for this event. The proceeds raised will help us fund our signature programs, Food For Kids, Empathy in Action, and Operation Teddy Bear, and expand our new Impact Makers program, urgently needed by teens in our community. By focusing on the practice of empathy and community service, these programs make a significant impact on the most critical local needs, including food insecurity, educational inequality, access to mental health resources, and youth social and emotional wellness.

The Volunteer Center is so looking forward to seeing you this Friday at the Shade Hotel in Redondo Beach.
Reminders: Attire is cocktail, and we will be outdoors at the start of the evening when it can get chilly.
Your valet parking is covered. Once you check-in, you will go to the top level where drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served. The bar is covered by your ticket. There will be a wonderful silent auction. Then after dinner we will have a live auction.
To give you a preview of what's available, please click on the link below. volcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/H2H2025-Auction-Presentation.pdf
And if you see items -- like the trip to Africa -- that you know friends would be interested in bidding on, please share the link with them and give them my contact info (jeanadelsman@yahoo.com).
I can arrange to have them bid from afar for both the live and silent auctions.

Any questions? Please call me at 310-373-8696.
See you Friday for an evening of fun,
