Benefit with Friends
The 5th annual Benefit With Friends is happening on Wednesday, November 19th at the world famous Magic Castle! If you missed last year, you will want to secure your babysitter now (or make it a girl's night out or guy's night out, leave the spouse at home)!
We've got a fantastic new line up of magicians, awesome raffles and, as usual, all the money supports the arts at West Hollywood Elementary! Our website, benefitwithfriends.com, is up and running with all of the info you'll need about the Castle, showtimes, dress code and ticket information.
Ticket are already on sale at the school each morning at 7:45 am - cash, credit or checks are all accepted. Or order online via the website (but you'll pay a service fee there. Sorry!)
Finally, please be sure to bring your ID - everyone must have ID (enjoy being carded!) and remember that the Castle has a very strict dress code.
