Legends of Hollywood Childhelp Diamond Jubilee Gala!
08.25.19
The Orange County Chapter of Childhelp will celebrate its Legends of Hollywood Childhelp Diamond Jubilee Gala on Saturday, October 19, at The Resort at Pelican Hill. Event Chairs Joy Estrada and Gina Van Ocker along with Honorary Chair, Janet Ronnenberg will lead the committee in transforming the main ballroom to bring legendary Hollywood back to life. It will be an evening to remember with dinner, dancing to live music by Daring Greatly, silent and live auctions, and casino-style gambling, all to raise money toward stopping child abuse and neglect, and to support the children under Childhelp’s care.
For 60 years, Childhelp has been working to stop abuse and neglect in Orange County as well as across the country. They are proud to report that for each dollar expended, over 92 cents are invested into serving the children in need of their program and services.
