Thanks to donations from WLALA members, the fabulous virtual stand-up comedy event (LAUGH) organized by Patricia Fullinwider, and a match challenge, WLALA raised over $8300 in support of Food from the Bar benefitting the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.   That number far exceeded the original goal of $3000, and was the highest total ever raised by WLALA in the 13 years of the Food from the Bar campaign.   Many thanks to WLALA members Patricia Fullinwider and Sharen Ghaten for the night of laughs and all the talents you brought to bear to make it such a success, to Vicky Ourfalian for volunteering at the Food Bank, and to all of those who donated so generously.

Please mark your calendars for June 30 for the Food from the Bar virtual closing reception and awards ceremony – to hear firsthand the impact that the Food from the Bar program has had, how much money was raised by the campaign overall, and who received awards for their participation.”
