The Culver City Woman’s Club is staging a fundraiser on Thursday, March 10, to benefit young people like a certain Johnny.
He was 6 years old before anyone called him by his given name. His mother was out of the picture. His father was in jail. His grandmother was doing the best she could, but she had several other people to worry about, too.
Not surprisingly, Johnny did not trust adults. He didn’t even know how to be a child. Then the Culver City Woman’s Club held a fundraiser which raised money to send him and others to the Culver-Palms YMCA Summer Camp for a week.
This taught Johnny that there are adults he can talk to and trust. He learned how to communicate. He learned values, and now he is going to camp every summer, his favorite time of year.
The Woman’s Club’s March 10 fundraiser, 5:30 to 8, will be at the Casa Sanchez Mexican Restaurant, 4500 S. Centinela Ave., Los Angeles 90066.
There will be a fashion show, door prizes and a silent auction, with free hors d’oeuvres and happy hour-priced cocktails.
Proceeds will benefit the Culver Palms YMCA Summer Camp program and will be funding scholarships for Culver City High School graduating seniors. Admission is $25 for advance purchase or $30 at the door.
For tickets, call Carole at 310.453.2314. Space is limited.
