On November 22, 2024, Special Children’s League hosted their annual benefit at the Palos Verdes Golf Club, raising over $175,000 to support the various programs they champion. The event featured a boutique, silent auction, and luncheon, with members and guests gathering under this year’s theme, “Under the Tuscan Sun. “I am thrilled to share the outstanding success of our event,” said Suzan Fairchild, SCL President. “It’s heart-warming to see these much-needed funds go toward improving the lives and spirits of individuals with developmental challenges.”
The day began at 10 a.m. with the Boutique and Auction, followed by the Luncheon at 12:30 p.m. Special Children’s League, founded in 1957, started when a small group of women united to support a friend whose child had cerebral palsy. Over the years, the group has remained committed to helping others, bound by their shared desire to make a difference.
Last year, Special Children’s League gifted $215,000 to programs they support, including: Momentum (formerly United Cerebral Palsy of Los Angeles), AbilityFirst Camp Paivika, Able ARTS Work, Achievable Health, Exceptional Minds, ICAN California Abilities Network, Manes for Movement, Momentum Pediatric Therapy Network (PTN), Mychal’s Learning Place, Our Village, Palos Verdes Peninsula School District programs for students with special needs, Partners for Pediatric Vision, Ride to Fly, Switzer Learning Center, The United States Adaptive Recreation Center, and We Are Brave Together.
