AAP – Food Samaritans is one of four beneficiaries that will share in a gift of 40% of the sales from Las Casuelas Terraza's 40th Anniversary celebration on February 5. We are honored to be one of the designated charities to receive this donation as the popular restaurant observes this milestone. (See below for more details.)

 

This month we are proud to once again partner with the 28th Annual Palm Springs Winter Classic Softball Tournament, which benefits AAP. The Tournament will take place February 8 - 10. Presented in cooperation with the City of Palm Springs and the Palm Springs Gay Softball League, participating teams are members of the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance (NAGAAA), a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting amateur athletics for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. All games are free to the public, and the tournament schedule will be posted at pswinterclassic.com later in the month. 

 

On February 24th TRIO Restaurant will present the 10th annual “Hollywood’s Biggest Night” to benefit AAP – Food Samaritans. Year after year, this magical evening of dining, drinks, and fun is the best way to experience the greatest awards show on earth. Upon arrival, guests get the full 'star treatment' from the 'paparazzi' on TRIO's now-famous orange carpet. The energy in the room is electric and the excitement builds as we wait with anticipation for each winner to be announced. Everyone has such a wonderful time, and every year is more entertaining than the last. I hope you will be able to join us on this special evening. 

 

Don’t forget that ARRIVAL from Sweden – performing the music of ABBA – will be our featured performer at the 2019 Evening Under the Stars gala on May 4. Tables and individual tickets are on sale already, and remember that the earlier you purchase your tickets, the better your placement at the event.
