All hands on deck! Foothill Family invites you to embark on a voyage of philanthropy and maritime merriment at Bon Voyage, their annual gala and auction, on the evening of May 18, at the stunning Annandale Golf Club in Pasadena. Don your finest nautical attire and prepare to navigate a sea of excitement as we come together to support mental health and early childhood development services for underserved children and families in the community.

As the organization’s most significant fundraising event of the year, the gala will showcase an elegant setting where community leaders, supporters, and advocates gather to generate crucial funds for Foothill Family’s transformative programs. Foothill Family is dedicated to aiding families as they navigate life’s challenges, committing to provide a secure and nurturing environment where clients are listened to, understood, and empowered to enact positive changes in their lives.

“Our community’s needs are vast, and Foothill Family remains steadfast in our commitment to meeting them head-on,” remarked Captain Steve Allen, Chief Executive Officer of Foothill Family. “Bon Voyage allows us to rally together in support of our mission, ensuring that no family navigates life’s challenges alone.”

The evening’s festivities will include live entertainment by the yacht rock band Members Only Yacht Club and DJ Blake Cross, maritime-themed cocktails, delectable hors d’oeuvres, and an after party casino with live music that will set the mood for an unforgettable voyage. The live and silent auctions, navigated through mobile bidding, will offer an array of treasures, from local eateries to exclusive travel experiences that will make waves. And as the stars illuminate the night sky, guests will gather together for a three-course meal and enjoy a program presented with moving storytelling to make a big impact through their philanthropic support. They’ll end the night round the gaming tables, ready to test their luck and win treasures aplenty. Join us as we chart a course towards brighter futures!
