Friendship Adult Day Care Center in Santa Barbara — You Helped Us Surpass Our Goal—Thank YOU!

A SUMMER CELEBRATION TO REMEMBER

Thank you for making Friendship Center’s 50th Anniversary Summer Polo Soirée an incredible success!

 

Together, our Summer Polo Soirée and Summer Campaign raised over $75,000, exceeding our fundraising goal and helping provide compassionate daytime care for older adults living with dementia in South Santa Barbara County.

Nearly 100 guests joined us for a beautiful afternoon of polo, lite bites, a lively silent auction, and wonderful company. It was a joy to celebrate 50 years of Friendship Center alongside so many familiar faces while welcoming over 30 new friends into the Friendship Center family.

 

Thank you for making this milestone fundraising event one for the books!
