October Philanthropy Events

As the first Friday in October, I would like to highlight several charity events which will be occurring throughout the month of October in Los Angeles. These are firsthand opportunities for you to learn, contribute or donate to the issues which matter to you.

1. Creativity Heals Art Auction and Fundraiser Event
Creativity Heals is a fundraising event which supports breast cancer awareness and prevention. The event proposes to demonstrate the healing effects of the arts through local art and live music while also raising funds for breast cancer. There is a suggested donation of $15 without RSVP and $10 with RSVP. This is sure to be a fun and exciting night in the art district of dtla full of live music, djs, art, foodtrucks and support for breast cancer awareness.

2. Yoplait Makes California Families Strong
When you are considering where to purchase your pumpkins this October, consider Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch in West Hollywood. Yoplait has partnered with Mr. Bones to donate $1.00 to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank for every pumpkin sold, up to $10,000. This is a simple way to give back and help others in the Los Angeles community.
Event begins Saturday, October 8 @9:00am through the end of October.
