Dream Foundation Hosts its Second Annual No Gala Gala

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Oct. 10, 2024 - PRLog -- Following the success of last year's non-event, Dream Foundation will host its second annual No Gala Gala, Sunday, October 13^th - Sunday, October 20^th. Supporters will be invited to stay home, bid on an online auction featuring luxurious vacations and priceless must-haves, purchase an opportunity drawing ticket for a chance to explore Napa Valley in style, as well as give to help make Dreams come true for terminally-ill adults across the country and Puerto Rico.

With no limits and no dress code, the No Gala Gala is the perfect way for everyone everywhere to help make Dreams come true, especially as 100% of funds raised will grant Dreams throughout the coming months.

Auction highlights include a one-on-one session with Emmy Award-winning animation artist Andy Suriano in Los Angeles or virtually via Zoom, an exclusive dinner prepared by Duo Catering & Margerum Tasting Room for ten guests in Santa Barbara, a stay at the famed Hotel Le Toiny on St. Barth's, including lunch at island favorite Sella St. Barth, a Ball Kid experience for four plus four additional tickets to a 2025 season L.A.
