BLUE & WHITE FUNDRAISING GALA

Villa's Annual Fundraising Gala, known as Blue & White, is held at the Langham Huntington Hotel in Pasadena, usually in the spring. The event has a different theme each year and includes cocktail hour on the Viennese Terrace and a sit down dinner in the Viennese Ballroom. Cocktail hour has a silent auction, photo booth, wine draw, and art gallery. The art gallery is comprised of art created by Villa’s children and adults, and guests can purchase artwork to take home. Dinner includes a program, live auction, and paddle raise. All event proceeds benefit the diverse programs that Villa provides for children, adults, and seniors with intellectual/developmental disabilities.

Blue & White 2024

Embark on a wild adventure with Villa Esperanza Services at our annual Blue & White Fundraising Gala! This year, we are "Wild About Villa," celebrating Villa's passionate commitment to providing love, care, and hope for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities. Villa's personalized services, dedicated staff, and continuum of care over the course of a lifetime create a special haven for our children, adults, and seniors.

As part of the evening's festivities, we are pleased to honor Richard Mooney of Kensington Caterers. Richard has been a steadfast supporter of Villa's mission for nearly 20 years - generously donating to the capital campaign and program support. Over the years, his live auction item donations have raised thousand of dollars for Villa. He is a wonderful Villa ambassador in the community, featuring Villa in his catering newsletters and website, and a dedicated friend of Villa.
