The Hearts to Hearts Valentine’s Luncheon was a great success!  The Master of Ceremonies was the ever dynamic, Janet Garufis, Chairman and CEO of Montecito Bank and Trust. Hearts Aligned honored the Santa Barbara Foundation as our fiscal sponsor for 2021 and 2022, and for their charitable support to the community over the many years.

The luncheon featured a silent auction with donations ranging from Dodgers Opening Day Tickets to a silk Gucci Scarf to Wine Baskets to a Surfboard.  With something for everyone, the silent auction raised over $10,000!

 Janet was inspirational during the paddle raise as she announced an anonymous donor would pledge $35,000 if the audience could match it. She called on friends and colleagues and helped Hearts Aligned raise over $52,000 and with the match brought us over $87,000. Along with donations from those that could not attend, ticket sales, and sponsorships we raised over $140,000! 

Thank you all for your generous gifts!
