$2000 AND MORE...

Byebye Grace, Hello 29 was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who gave their time and energy to help create a beautiful experience on Saturday. About 200 guests of all different ages from all over California gathered to celebrate Grace's next adventure in Chicago and Angela's birthday. Not only was $2000 collected to go towards PATH and 5eleven, but there was real energy and excitement through the connections made and the art being shared by local artists whether through dance, painting, music or food.

Money that is donated for a cause and used to change lives can go a long way but when you can mobilize and bring together individuals for a purpose to collaborate and create, the impact can be immeasurable. So we are grateful for the generosity of our guests to give $2000 towards PATH and 5eleven, and we are also incredibly thankful for our family, friends and even strangers who stepped up to help make a space for our community to gather, connect and hopefully be inspired to love and live with purpose.
