Let’s raise a glass to financial confidence, sisterhood, and the belief that all is possible—together.

Ticket proceeds will be donated to the All is Possible Together Project, dedicated to raising funding for the local nonprofits that are working tirelessly to support our communities affected by the LA Fires.
