Five Acres Annual Gala 2024

There are few sunny days for more than 430,000 children nationwide as long as they are not with their families. In California, we have 60,000 children in foster care with roughly about 25,000 in Los Angeles. These children lay their heads at night and dream for better days. Today, we have the opportunity to make children and youth’s dreams come alive at our California Dreamin’: 2024 Five Acres Annual Gala on Saturday, May 18, 2024.

Inspired by the beautiful landscapes in our state, stunning coastlines, and opportunities in thriving industries, California Dreamin’ for better futures is what we desire for our children. Their dreams, wishes, and hopes for living in the land of opportunity are not lost on us. While we continue to keep them safe and warm, we also are committed to permanency with support from families who open their hearts and homes.

We will gather at California Dreamin’: 2024 Five Acres Annual Gala, which will be held at the private estate of Meghan and Monte Baier in Sierra Madre on Saturday, May 18, 2024. Amidst the natural beauty and mountains, the festivities will take place outdoors in a luxurious lawn and poolside where guests will enjoy gourmet food, cocktails, music, and dancing.
