13th Annual proflowers
Crystal Ball Gala

October 29, 2011, Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, 15150 San Dieguito Road · Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067

In 1999, visionary Casa de Amparo patrons and community members conceived the idea of a gala that would raise substantial funds to help each Casa Kid look into his or her own crystal ball and see a brighter future. This annual event, held in Rancho Santa Fe, starts with an elite cocktail and hors d’oeuvres reception followed by an elegant dinner prepared and served by Jeffrey Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille.  Live, super silent and silent auctions add to the overall financial success of this black-tie event while treating winning bidders to luxurious prizes. The five year partnership with ProFlowers Flower Delivery allows more proceeds to go directly to Casa de Amparo’s programs and services.
