The 8th Annual Girls’ Night Out was a sold-out affair with more than 300 women attending. This year’s event was presented by Wilson Automotive Group, Montage Laguna Beach, Newport Lexus, Starfish, and Winston’s Crown Jewelers who donated an amazing 19.64 Carat Cabochon Australian Fire Opal and gift certificate to design your own piece for this year’s opportunity drawing.
This Girls’ Night Out raised $100,000 in direct support of the Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach’s Club Programs. As guests arrived to the event they were greeted by Winston’s Crown Jewelers’ models bedecked in their magnificent jewelry. During the event, the models posed in black cat suits and encouraged guests to try on the many exquisite pieces of jewelry.
As the ladies made their way down the stairs they got to enjoy delectable cuisine from Starfish, Laguna Beach, participated in the silent auction, and enjoyed a freedom aerial performance by Club Alumnus Kelsey Laroche. “This was another successful Girls’ Night Out in terms of enthusiasm and revenue”, said Pam Estes, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach. “We rely on the generosity of the community and our sponsors to help support the out-of-school programs that we provide for over 300 children and counting. Every dollar of support counts towards making a difference in the lives of a child.”
The Club would like to give a big thanks to long-time Club supporter Holly Wilson for another year of opening the doors to her amazing home for the Club. Every day children rely on the nationally recognized, award winning and character enhancing programs offered by the Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach.
At the Boys & Girls Club, socially sound experiences designed to keep children healthy, active, and “thinking” are all provided thanks to supportive efforts like this one.
