Our Beneficiaries

Contributing to our Community

Through our fundraising efforts with our annual gala fashion show and monthly luncheons, we are very proud to extend our financial support toward educational programs and charitable organizations throughout Rancho Mirage and the Coachella Valley. We have been donating to local children’s charities since our founding in 1963.

We raised $58,000 this year!
