From the Executive Director

April 2023

Springtime is upon us and we're ready to embrace it and the close of the philanthropic season here in Palm Springs. With summer on the horizon, we know that life will get a bit more challenging for our clients, so I ask you to please keep us in mind.
 
Guests that attended our recent fundraiser, Hollywood's Biggest Night, enjoyed a marvelous evening, a delightful meal, and an entertaining Oscars telecast.
 
Those in attendance also heard the BIG NEWS that after a three-year hiatus, EVENING UNDER THE STARS is coming back! Its absence for the past three seasons has definitely been challenging for AAP's finances, and I am elated that we have this to look forward to.
 
In addition to raising critically needed funds to help sustain the organization, it also gives us the opportunity to highlight the work that we do, and to recognize those in the community that make the Coachella Valley a better place to live.
 
You can look forward to hearing much more about the event, including those that will be honored, our entertainment, and opportunities for event sponsorship, but for now I want you to please SAVE THE DATE of Saturday, October 14 for this spectacular event.
 
This year, we're making some big changes including the venue. Though we have enjoyed being at the O'Donnell Golf Club for many years, for 2023 we are excited to announce that "EUS" will be held at the Indian Canyons Country Club! Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months.
 
Thank you once again for being a friend to AAP – Food Samaritans. 
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Mark Anton
C.E.O./Executive Director
