Our Fourth Annual Hearts to Hearts Valentine’s Luncheon was a beautiful and heartfelt gathering in support of families with critically ill children in Santa Barbara County. 

 Because of the incredible support of our guests, sponsors, and community partners, the event was a meaningful success and helped us raise over $200,000. Funds raised will directly assist Hearts Aligned families with essential expenses such as rent, utilities, gas cards, and grocery cards—providing stability during some of the most challenging times in their lives.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the afternoon so special.

 Congratulations to our Hearts to Hearts Community Service Award winners for their commitment to families struggling with the care of their critically ill child.
