Nearly $20,000 was raised at Hillsides’ recent annual Farm to Table dinner, held at the private Pasadena estate of Jim and Chelisa Vagim. The estate overlooks the San Gabriel Valley with stunning views that the guests enjoyed.
Noted restaurateur Claud Beltran, owner of Claud and Co. Catering as well as two Pasadena restaurants, Bacchus’ Kitchen and newly opened Tap & Kitchen, served as chef for the evening, presenting organic, farm-fresh food and fare.
Ross Harper, a steel drum musician, was on hand to serenade guests while they sipped cocktails on the bocce ball court.
Manny Campos, a former resident of Hillsides, shared why the four years he spent at Hillsides were the best times in his childhood. Along with his mother, who stayed connected with him, the care, love and nurturing he received from staff at the Hillsides residential treatment program transformed his life.
Event sponsors were Lauralyn Deringer, Brent and Leah Mason, Jennifer Brian, Uyen-Uyen Vo, Annie Brose and Chris Anzalone, Don and Sally Clark, Ava and Ed Herrera, Michele and Matt Van Buren, Debbe and Spike Booth, and Ricardo and Rory Olivarez.
