2007 Holiday Cheer

On Thursday, November 29th Children Today held its 10th annual "Holiday Cheer" Wine Tasting and Auction event. This event is our primary means of raising funds from local benefactors. This year’s event exceeded expectations with over 350 people attending!

On behalf of the children, families, staff and Children Today Board of Directors, THANK YOU for making our tenth annual Holiday Cheer fundraising event a tremendous success. The live auction, emceed by Senator Allan Lowenthal & Mayor Bob Foster, along with the silent auction, coordinated by our amazing auxiliary, The Sandlarks, helped to raise over $250,000, all of which directly supports our Play House programs for homeless children.

More than 50 guests Sponsored A Child at The Play House, helping to provide approximately 100 weeks of loving care. To find out more about our Sponsor A Child program, click here or visit our website at www.childrentoday.org.

Holiday Cheer 2007 featured an amazing tamale buffet generously donated by Sofia Riley of "Thank Goodness It's Sofia".

We couldn't have done it without our amazing Holiday Cheer 2007 sponsors:
