March is the month of spring, and of big and fabulous fundraising events! We need your support to continue what we do, and so please join us at one or both of these. I like to say, "Support AAP – Food Samaritans and have a great time doing it!"

 

First is the 12th annual 'Hollywood's Biggest Night' on Sunday, March 10 hosted by AAP Board President Tony Marchese's TRIO Restaurant. (Please note: The Academy has moved the starting time for the ceremony from 5 PM (PST) to 4 PM, so our famous 'Orange Carpet Arrivals' will start at 3:30 so we can have everyone seated and begin serving at 4. This year, the glamorous Bella da Ball will be joined by Eye on the Desert's dapper Patrick Evans on the orange carpet!

 

Next up is Palm Springs Life's incredible Fashion Week El Paseo, showcasing leading and emerging designers. Fashion Week benefits several charities, and we are honored to have been selected as the beneficiary of one of their evenings: Tuesday, March 19. Please see the details below, and plan to join us for a festive night of fashion!

 

A big thank you to our long-time and generous supporter Denise Luckman-Eyer for underwriting our VIP tent for the Fashion Week event. A warm and heartfelt thank you to Bobbi Lampros and to Palm Springs Life for including AAP – Food Samaritans.
