June Lockhart, known for her roles in “Lost in Space” and “Lassie” will host the Upward Bound House 6th Annual dinner and silent auction on Oct. 17 at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica.
The fundraiser will honor Venice Family Clinic and its founder Dr. Phillip Rossman for the contributions the clinic provides for the community and specifically, the free medical care it has provided for the families at Upward Bound House.
The silent auction starts at 6 p.m. and the dinner begins at 7:45 p.m. Tickets are $200 and can be purchased at the door or by calling UBH at (310) 458-7779.
Incorporated in 1991, Upward Bound House was developed by the congregation of the First United Methodist Church of Santa Monica as a mission to its community. Now operating as a separate nonprofit, all of Upward Bound House’s services are non-denominational, including Santa Monica’s only transitional housing facility — Family Place — which will take in approximately 33 homeless families this year, and Senior Villa, which provides 90 low-income seniors with affordable housing and links to social services.
To purchase tickets, donate silent auction items, make a donation or to volunteer, contact Tim Alexander at Upward Bound House at (310) 458-7779 or
