Starry Starry Night 2017
On September 9, event chairs Lany and Alex Zikakis welcomed more than 430 guests to the Sahm Estate at Del Dios Ranch. Attendees enjoyed an elegant cocktail hour in the pool house featuring signature creations by Snake Oil Cocktail Co. Sophisticated décor by event producer Janice Dodge incorporated the beauty of the orange groves and Rancho Santa Fe hills, and Chef Andrew Spurgin teamed up with Culinary Concepts to serve a gourmet dinner under the stars. Guests bid on a competitive Live Auction, including a week at the coveted Esperanza resort in Cabo San Lucas and a 1923 Model T. Donors raised their paddles to directly Fund-a-CASA, generously giving more than $875,000 to provide caring advocates for local foster children. The evening concluded with celebratory dancing, drinks, and desserts.
A highlight of the event was the premiere of “The Best Gift,” by filmmaker Alex Juutilainen, telling the story of Rosie, a former foster youth whose life was transformed by the dedication of her CASA, Dawna. Rosie’s story showcases the simple yet profound ways a CASA can break the cycle of pain and abuse suffered by children in the foster care system.
