The non-event will allow those near and far to support final Dreams for terminally-ill adults
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Californer -- Following the success of last year's non-event, Dream Foundation will host its second annual No Gala Gala, Sunday, October 13th - Sunday, October 20th. Supporters will be invited to stay home, bid on an online auction featuring luxurious vacations and priceless must-haves, purchase an opportunity drawing ticket for a chance to explore Napa Valley in style, as well as give to help make Dreams come true for terminally-ill adults across the country and Puerto Rico.
With no limits and no dress code, the No Gala Gala is the perfect way for everyone everywhere to help make Dreams come true, especially as 100% of funds raised will grant Dreams throughout the coming months.
Auction highlights include a one-on-one session with Emmy Award-winning animation artist Andy Suriano in Los Angeles or virtually via Zoom, an exclusive dinner prepared by Duo Catering & Margerum Tasting Room for ten guests in Santa Barbara, a stay at the famed Hotel Le Toiny on St. Barth's, including lunch at island favorite Sella St. Barth, a Ball Kid experience for four plus four additional tickets to a 2025 season L.A. Football Club match, premium seats and a VIP on-field experience with the Chicago White Sox including the coveted opportunity of throwing out the first pitch at a 2025 season game, a tour for twelve with a picnic lunch at a sustainable seafood farm on an iconic Santa Barbara ranch, priceless sports memorabilia from the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles, and so much more.
