BBQ By The Bay 2024
September 29, 2024 dawned warm and clear, suggesting a perfect evening to come for Caring House's second annual BBQ By the Bay fundraiser at the King Harbor Yacht Club in Redondo Beach.
And indeed it was! We welcomed a large group of community supporters who came to enjoy the amazing view, the even better BBQ, and support Caring House via awesome silent auction items and "raise-a-paddle" live asks.
It was a wonderful evening which saw so much great support from the community. From the staff, residents and families of Caring House, both past and present, THANK YOU! Your generosity keeps our important mission going forward. Here are some photos of the BBQ By The Bay. We'll see you next year!
Below are great photos of guests on arrival followed by casuals of the event. Enjoy!
