✨A NIGHT TO REMEMBER ✨Together we raised $3 MILLION at our 2026 gala, Versailles: L’Art de Vivre, for the Thompson Autism and Neurodevelopmental Center at CHOC, part of Rady Children’s Health.
That’s triple our original goal and the biggest night in Glass Slipper Guild history.
We are especially grateful to Bill and Nancy Thompson and Heather and Jim Madden, whose extraordinary commitment and support helped make this historic evening possible.
We were also honored to hear from Dr. Michael Cameron, who helped bring the work of the Thompson Center to life, and from 14-year-old Junyeong Park, whose story gave all of us a powerful reminder of the lives this work can change.
L’Art de Vivre means “the art of living,” and this night was such a beautiful reminder of what that can mean when a community comes together for children and families.
To every sponsor, donor, member and supporter who made this possible, thank you.
See you at our fall kickoff on August 25 at Mayor’s Table. Current members and those interested in joining the Guild are welcome!
