CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT
VIRTUAL SPRING GALA – APRIL 10, 2021
The Palos Verdes Junior Women’s Club held its annual spring fundraiser “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” on Saturday, April 10, 2021. Postponed from last year due to the pandemic, this year’s gala proceeded virtually to great success!
Kenny Metcalf, renowned Elton John tribute performer, rocked the event with three sets of live entertainment. Over 150 donors and supporters participated and helped raise funds for several worthy philanthropies.
The Palos Verdes Junior Women’s Club is an all-volunteer organizations that raises funds to support local philanthropies which address the needs of women and children in crisis in the South Bay. Funds raised this year will be disbursed in June to various charities, including: Boys and Girls Club; Community’s Child; Family Promise; Harbor Interfaith; Providence Trinity Care; and SHAWL – Support for Harbor Area Women’s Lives. In addition, the funds raised will support two $5000 scholarships to deserving local high school students.
The Palos Verdes Junior Women’s Club is grateful to the generous support of its donors, especially in these uncertain times, and hopes to resume “live” events next year, if conditions permit.
