Huge News! We hit $5MILLION raised for Gwendolyn’s Playground!!!

Our second Butterfly Ball was a major success! Guests arrived decked out in playful butterfly attire at the stunning Dos Pueblos Ranch, the Queen of the Central Coast, generously donated by the Dos Pueblos Institute. From beautiful decor with lots of butterfly flourishes created by Cristina Bentley of Bella Vista Designs and warm natural tablescapes by Kim Curtis of Toast, guests were treated to dancing butterflies, specialty craft cocktails, and incredible auction items in the greenhouse gardens. Guests then meandered to the Estate Lawn and enjoyed a delicious dinner by Duo Events, wine by Artiste Winery, and heartfelt speeches given by Analise Maggio and moi, Victoria Strong, under giant Morton Bay fig trees. Our dear friend Andrew Firestone wowed the crowd as our MC with his humor, auctioneering skills, and belief in this mission!

Three hundred guests listened, learned, laughed, bid vigorously on butterfly swings and a unique art auction, and gave generously — raising an astounding $815,000 for Gwendolyn’s Playground!!! Remarkably, several donors actually increased their gifts the next morning — raising our total overnight. And then we received word that we were awarded grants from several Santa Barbara companies and foundations... which brings Gwendolyn’s Playground to $5Million and —

ONLY $1MILLION LEFT TO CROSS THE FINISH LINE!!!

I am so very humbled by the work I get to do because of Gwendolyn and I am once again encouraged by the many kind humans determined to make the world a more loving, accepting, and joyful place. I know, with our collective efforts, we will raise the final funding to build this life-changing community space where EVERYONE BELONGS!

I will always believe in the power we each possess

I will always believe in the power we each possess. You taught me that sweet Gwendolyn.

It can be as simple as choosing to be kind, holding the door open, making someone’s day a little brighter(which makes your own better too by the way). It can be efforts in your community - volunteering, working one on one, using your voice for change. It can be lobbying Congress and shaping policy. It can be fundraising to shift the course of an entire disease. It can be anything you believe makes the world a better place. Just do it. Don’t wait for others to do it for you. YOU matter and may very well be the reason something happens.

Today is for you Miss G. Thank you for inspiring us all to be better humans.

NEVER GIVE UP. #butterflyball
