Royal Ball A Success!

Royal Ball 2013

Over 600 attendees packed the Bacara Resort & Spa this past Saturday for our 2nd Annual Royal Ball and the event was an extraordinary success!

Pacific Pride Foundation raised record funds for our HIV/AIDS and LGBT programs and services. The evening would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors and attendees. We'd like to extend a special thank you to Merryl Brown Events, who's vision and passion guided this unforgettable night.
