I went to a party last Friday night at the Beverly Hills Hotel and took some pix. It was a charity event called the "CARRY" Gala. It is the Coalition for At Risk Youth and this is the 2nd year they've held it. Good thing we volunteered, cuz tickets were $275 per person!

CARRY is dedicated to changing the lives of foster youth suffering from debilitating skin disorders and physical illnesses. It their goal to “carry” them to a healthy, secure and nurturing place.

My wife and I volunteered for this event and it was wonderful to see many people support this cause. There was music, entertainment, silent auction, singers, performers, etc.

Here are some pix but will add more later on:
