Benefit with Friends
It was so great seeing you yesterday at our amazing Benefit with Friends Event at Magic Castle. It was a magical evening filled with magic shows, auction, laughs and friends. All of the proceeds collected will go toward our arts education at West Hollywood Elementary. It was a great night for a very important cause. Thank you Hannah Cutrona Heitkam and Rachael Quitance for making this event happen!!
