Celebration for the Children: Every Smile Tells a Story to benefit Foundation for the Children of the Californias was more than a gala, it was an opportunity to be part of the heart and hope behind every child’s recovery. Guests, including Lisset Rocha, Eva Angulo, Ashley Holmes, Carol Young, Kristine Cuevas, Deborah Jones, Caroline Wohl, Ruth Chong, Maribel Moreno, Geronimo Bertran, Conny Jamison, Kathia Bustillos, John Ahlering, Liliana Binner, Denise Hoover, Patricia Tolentino, Nicholas Wilson, Valerie Nemeth, and Gary Loomis, heard powerful stories of resilience, saw the direct impact of cross-border care, and witnessed how their generosity is changing lives in real time. Together, they are turning compassion into action, an evening into a legacy, and every smile into a story of hope.
