The first annual True Sioux Hope Gala
11.04.16
The first annual True Sioux Hope Gala will be celebrated on Saturday, Nov. 12 starting at 5 p.m. at Balboa Bay Resort. Twila True, best known for her luxury nail salons, Polished Perfect By Twila True, is a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe from Pine Ridge, South Dakota. She knows first-hand the unconscionable conditions in which the Sioux Tribe is forced to live, so she founded the True Sioux Hope Foundation to assist the people of the Pine Ridge Reservation. It’s currently the poorest place in the United States.
Her foundation is providing critical aid and support for the creation of a sustainable infrastructure.
Special guest Julia Ormand will be the evening’s host and she’ll be sharing support for the people of Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. The Gala will begin with a cocktail reception, a silent and live auction, a unique cultural experience, dinner and dancing.
For tickets, visit truesiouxhopegala.org.
Balboa Bay Resort is at 1221 West Coast Highway in Newport Beach.
