Project Playhouse

Project Playhouse Turns 20!

10.07.11

It’s hard to believe it’s already the 20th anniversary of Project Playhouse benefiting HomeAid OC, an organization dedicated to rebuilding lives by providing dignified housing to the homeless. Since debuting, it's raised $5.8 million, and provided 47 housing developments that serve victims of domestic violence, abused children and homeless families.

Project Playhouse will kick off Saturday with an open house from noon to 6 p.m. It’s the only day you can go in to the incredible playhouses. Tickets cost $10 (donation) per person, no charge for children 3 and under.

Following the grand opening Village tours will be available Fridays (noon to 4 p.m.) and Saturdays and Sundays (noon 
to 6 p.m.) for a $2 donation. You can only view the playhouses through the doors. Houses will remain on display until the gala auction at 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 at the Balboa Bay Club in Newport Beach.

Tickets cost $275 per person. Want to register as a bidder to own your very own dream playhouse? You can register now, by contacting Gina Scott at HomeAid Orange County, via email at gina@homeaidoc.org or call 949.553.9510.

UCI Diabetes Center

Toasting American Ingenuity

10.06.11

The UC Irvine Diabetes Center held its annual fundraiser on September 22, 2011, at the Balboa Bay Club & Resort in Newport Beach.

The evening’s theme “Toasting American Ingenuity” celebrated advances in technology and medical science. Guests dined on regional American fare paired with craft beer and Paso Robles wines. The event drew 260 guests, featured silent auction and opportunity drawing, and raised approximately $385,000 for the Diabetes Center’s research initiatives.

Under the leadership of Director Dr. Ping Wang, the UCI Diabetes Center offers patient care and conducts research on multiple fronts -- from regenerating pancreatic cells to applying information technology to compute and analyze stem cell data. The Center also trains the next generation of physicians and researchers.
