Walk With Sally is gearing up to host its second annual ‘White Light White Night’ gala fundraiser and cocktail party this Saturday, June 28 from 6:30 – 11:00 p.m., with CBS 2 News/KCAL 9 News Reporter Marybeth McDade as mistress of ceremonies. This all white attire event serves to benefit the organization, a south bay charity that provides free of charge Mentoring Support Programs and Friendship Activities, Temporary Family Support Programs, Molly’s Corner Book Program and Mentee Scholarship Programs for children ages 7-17 all over Los Angeles who are living with or have lost a parent or sibling to cancer.
This year’s live auction will include a half-court Basketball Toss to win a brand new BMW 128i Cv8 in Alpine White with Gray Boston Leather interior, Cold Weather and Premium Package, Steptronic automatic transmission and Chrome line exterior valued at an estimated at $43,000 and a 3-point Basketball Toss to win a 1 year Executive Membership at Equinox South Bay, voted "Best Gym in America" by Fitness Magazine.
A signature component of White Light White Night is a video presentation highlighting some of the many activities that the Walk With Sally children participate in. Each activity provides a way to teach them something new, let them share in the activity, and have fun. Most importantly, Walk With Sally events provide the children a much-needed respite from the stress and trauma of living with or mourning the loss of losing a family member with cancer. Last year’s activity leading up to White Light White Night was called “Shear Scoop”. The Walk With Sally kids were physically and emotionally transformed by haircuts and styling at Hush Hush Hair Salon. They learned how to make ice cream at Manhattan Creamery. They also created inspirational necklaces from Energy Muse and Tabula Rasa Essentials.
The title sponsors for White Light White Night are South Bay BMW and Equinox. Other event sponsors include Chevron, Body Glove, Dipaola Foundation, Manhattan Car Wash, Adia, Tabula Rasa Essentials, Senta Bella, Inc., Blaze PR, Raleigh Studios, and Shotgun Honeymoon. Local area businesses providing their services include Hennessey's Tavern who is featuring beer tastings from Samuel Adams and Pyramid; Mucho's who is featuring tequila tastings including 3 choices of Herradura tequila; Pancho's who is featuring Margarita's, Silvio's Brazilian BBQ with exotic cocktails; Hope Wines featuring their signature Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon; water and sparkling juices provided by Fiji Waters, GuS Sparkling Juices, and Function.
