Turning the pumpkin pink

Hi Everyone! 

Periodically, I receive requests to produce charity events for some very wonderful organizations.

Recently, I received a phone call from Angelle Grace Wacker asking for my production assistance with the Turning the Pumpkin Pink charity event to help raise money for the John Wayne Cancer Institute.

This wonderful dinner and silent auction was held on Saturday, October 30 at the home of Jim and Paula Miller. 

Guests arrived dressed in some of the most creative and imaginative costumes! There was a silent auction with some very impressive items such as a two night stay at The Montage Beverly Hills, tickets to Chelsea Lately and The Conan O'Brien shows, plus a very unique Pucchi wedding gown and a cute puppy.

I was honored to be part of an amazing group of individuals and businesses that donated their time and products for this charity to help make a difference worldwide.

Some of the businesses included:

CPK

Variety

Goldline International, Inc.

DLS Decorative Lighting Specialists

Teryl Designs Landscaping

Warner Bros.

Carter and Courtney Reim of Veev Spirits, LLC

Mike Gerard Of Wilwood Ovens

The LA Opera

Penny Shaffer

The Cynthia Ford Band

UCLA School of Music

Dolphin Event Services

Barbara Perlin - homemade cupcakes

Manhattan Beach Community Church

and many more 

The color scheme was pink (of course) with pink painted pumpkins, pink lighting and the most delicious pizza prepared by Mike Gerard of Wildwood Ovens.

Some of the volunteers were cancer surviors. The entire evening was very inspirational and humbling at the same time.

The John Wayne Cancer Institute at Saint John's Health Center is a cancer research institute dedicated to the understanding and curing of cancer in order to eliminate patient suffering worldwide.
