Bids For Kids Success! Thank you for supporting MVSEG!

We know that the Bids For Kids events feel like a marathon of fundraising. The MVSEG Board and Gala Committee extend our deepest thanks to you for showing up across all events to help make this year’s fundraising a huge success! We saw some of the best class artwork, took home beautiful baskets, battled it out in the Online Auction, and had a blast raising money at the Bids For Kids Gala - shout out to Coach Kirk, Coach Chip and Coach Najeeb for a hilarious and active Raise the Paddle!

While we tally up our final numbers we would love to share a look back at the fabulousness from the Gala - because you all looked STUNNING for your “Parents Night Out!”

Special thanks to the following event partners:

Sami Lin Planned It, Summit Events Catering, Pico Party Rentals, DJ Sherwin, EY Photobooth, FishyFoto and LAZ Parking.

The event wouldn’t be possible without the donations from these amazing in-kind donors:

Firestone Brewery, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Four Roses Bourbon, Garber & Co. Wines, Gran Fondo, Jackson Family Wines, The Penso Family & shoutout to our TEQUILA HEROES of the evening, El Cristiano Tequila, for the incredible contribution to the evening experience, the Raise the Paddle, and our hosted bar!

And thank you to Kirk Hawkins, KTLA Anchor, for giving his time and being our dynamic fundraising leader and Raise The Paddle “Coach” for the second year in a row!

The evening wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work and planning of our Gala leads: Sami Lin, Kim Bergenfeld, Christina Mitrotti and Grace Morrison. And, a huge thank you to everyone on the Gala Committee for all of the hours of dedication, support and teamwork from start to finish!
