Individuals, groups and businesses will be honored for their support of Turning Point Transitional Housing at Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel on June 1.
This year’s Brilliant Star Award, which recognizes contributions by a corporation, goes to Sketchers. The Generous Spirit Award for generosity goes to Becky and Michael Neidorf and the Open Heart Award, which recognizes services, goes to Irene Romero, Kyre Carsey, Shannon Wilcox and Sophie Kidian.
Tickets for the event, titled “Blues by the Sea,” are $25 per person and 100 percent of the proceeds go to Turning Point.
Turning Point provides homeless adults with housing, food and clothing assistance. The organization also helps with legal counseling, job readiness programs, permanent housing and medical referrals.
The fundraiser will feature a silent auction and entertainment by the James Mitchell Band. Food will be provided by The Lobster, Michael’s Restaurant, Locanda del Lago and the Santa Monica Beach Hotel.
KOST 103.5 and Pleasant Holidays are also sponsoring a $50 per ticket raffle. For admission, raffle tickets and/or additional information on the event, contact Donna Miller at (310) 264 6646 ext. 235.
