Some of the residents were also there for the photo op!

In mid-September, a $5000 grant was given to Children First at one of their Venice locations. Philip Tavill, CEO, and Jessica Rogers, VP of Philanthropy, were present along with some of our committee members and Children First Ambassador Noni Lavelle. This fine organization impacts and supports not only children, but mothers dealing with postpartum depression. It also sponsors support sessions for parents.|
