We request the honour of your presence at Pacific Pride Foundation’s Second Annual Royal Ball, to be held on Saturday, April 13th, 2013 at the Bacara Resort and Spa! This year we are delighted to announce our very incredible group of Honorary Co-chairs: Actor Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka, Iron Chef Cat Cora and her wife Jennifer Cora, 20th Century Fox Television’s Chairman Gary Newman and his wife LA talent attorney Jeanne Newman, actress Jane Lynch and her wife Dr. Lara Embry, writer, producer, actor and singer Shaun Cassidy and his wife Tracey. And this, dear friends, is just the beginning!
The fabulous Royal Ball will be filled with glamour, opulence, magnificent music and alluring guests, all in support of Santa Barbara’s vitally important Pacific Pride Foundation. Royal butlers will serve cocktails and delectable canapés on silver trays, while the Royal Court entertains you. A lineup of dancers, extreme stilt and acrobatic performance artists and rock star DJ Mike Bryant will keep the crowd dancing until 1:00am! This will be an uplifting and transformative evening for this organization.
The Ball will bring together a community of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and straight supporters to share a memorable evening of wild fun in support of PPF. For 36 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 last year’s still unsolved brutal anti-gay hate crime in Santa Barbara, the alarming rate of teen suicides among gay youth, and the continued struggle for full legal equality for the LGBT community, 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 36 years.
