Every year, we pick a unique venue for our Annual Palette of Colors Dinner & Auction Fundraising Gala. The venue sets the exclusive ambiance of our one and only live fundraising event of the year. This year, we’re proud to be working with the Chuck Jones Center. Their mission aligns closely with ours and there will be creative energy in the air!
Creative fun at our Gala
We’re planning some exciting events for the Gala. We’ll be “Celebrating Creativity” the entire night with music and great food. Since the event is in a nexus of animation, get your caricature drawn by a Disneyland trained portrait artist!
The creativity will continue when you’re amazed by tableside magic by the amazing Magic Ian. Check out his website – you’ll be amazed by his tricks!
