A Heartfelt Thank you for Helping Us Reach $1M!! Our Centennial Celebration was a beautiful evening filled with 600 guests in the ballroom at the Skirball Cultural Center, supporting our mission to empower children, young adults, and families with holistic, emotional wellness and health services. We honored four inspiring individuals, including the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, Founder & President of the Everychild Foundation Jacqueline Caster, Grammy-Award winning musician Pablo Stennett best-selling author and child advocate David Ambroz and, the Louchheim Family, for their 80 years of dedicated support, with four generations serving on the Wellnest Board.   Guests were moved by compelling client stories and enjoyed musical performances by Pablo Stennett and Auriana Chisholm, and Yardcore Live at the afterparty! Thanks to your generous support, we are thrilled to share that we have raised a remarkable $1 million for The Community Wellness Center!

On Thursday September 12th , to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month, AltaMed, City Club and Wellnest partnered to bring a curated art exhibit of the AltaMed Art Collection, one of the largest Chicano art collections in the world. This collection captures the essence of Latino culture through powerful and thought-provoking art. Thank you to the generosity of Cástulo de la Rocha and Zoila Escobar of AltaMed and its Foundation for loaning the unique artwork for the exhibit. Proceeds from ticket sales for the event benefited the University of California Santa Barbara - Ismael “Mayo” de la Rocha Scholarship Fund, ensuring the spirit of Professor de la Rocha will remain ever present! #Wellnest #AltaMedArtCollection #CityClubLA #HispanicHeritageMonth #UCSB UC Santa Barbara
