Your presence is requested at the Pacific Pride Foundation's Royal Ball, to be held on Saturday, May 19th, 2012 at The Four Seasons Biltmore Resort in Montecito. This year's Honorary Co-chairs are Cat Cora, Neil Patrick Harris, and David Burtka.

The fabulous Royal Ball will be filled with glamour, opulence, magnificent music and alluring guests, all in support of Santa Barbara's Pacific Pride Foundation. White-gloved butlers will serve cocktails on silver trays, while others pass delectable canapés from a menu created by honorary co-chair, world renowned chef Cat Cora. The Royal Court will serve and entertain you, along with a lineup of musicians, Cirque du Soleil performance artists and a rock star DJ who will keep the crowd dancing 'til midnight. This will be an uplifting and transformative event for this important organization.

The Ball will bring together a community of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and straight supporters to share a memorable evening of campy fun in support of the PPF. For 35 years, PPF has been the only organization on the central coast providing the community with HIV and AIDS services and education, LGBT counseling and recovery services, services for questioning youth, sensitivity training for law enforcement, a food pantry and so much more. In light of the recent, brutal anti-gay hate crime in Santa Barbara, and the alarming rate of teen suicides among gay youth, PPF's work is more important than ever. This is an opportunity to raise much-needed funds to help PPF continue their vital services in Santa Barbara County for the next 35 years.
