Art & Creativity for Healing will hold its annual Palette of Colors fundraiser on Saturday, April 29 at the beautiful site of Rancho Santa Margarita’s Bell Tower. This year’s theme ‘A Canvas of Hope’ will support the organization’s emotional healing programs through art and creative expression for those living in pain, grief, fear or stress.
Two hundred guests are expected to support the nonprofit’s largest fundraiser of the year led by Rancho Santa Margarita resident Thanh Cambaliza (event chair) and Newport Beach resident Elizabeth Kurtz (silent auction chair).
