Los Angeles, CA � On Sunday, June 7th, more than 1,000 prominent members of Los Angeles� Westside community participated in The Associates annual fundraising event for Vista Del Mar, one of the country�s most respected mental health agencies for children and families.
Guests dined on a beautiful buffet dinner before enjoying a special concert performance at the Saban Theater by Broadway star Hershey Felder whose show, The Great American Songbook, offered a sampling of works by America�s greatest composers from the past century. During the performance, the maestro both serenaded and created �sing-alongs� with the audience to capture the feeling of an exclusive Broadway soiree.
Nearly $200,000 was raised to support Vista�s comprehensive array of programs that include residential treatment, programs for children on the autism spectrum, a non-public school for more than 300 special education children, adoption, and outpatient mental health services.
The Associates, composed of women volunteers, is Vista�s main support group and primary fund-raising arm that also operates an annual holiday toy drive as well as assorted membership events.
