We are so grateful to all of Villa's friends, family, and supporters who joined us at the 26th Annual Day at the Races! The sold-out, “Sweethearts Racing” themed event brought over 200 people together in the Chandelier Room at Santa Anita Park for a spectacular day, raising over $92,000 for Villa. The Day at the Races supports Villa’s Hjelte-Phillips Speech and Language Center and Residential and Independent Living Services programs, which serve children, adults, and seniors with intellectual/developmental differences.
The event was full of love, camaraderie, and joy, and guests enjoyed lunch, a silent auction, and raffle and prize drawings in addition to a fantastic day of racing. The mood was set with heart centerpieces featuring photos of Villa’s participants and sparkly hearts in vases made by Villa’s participants. Thank you to all of our supporters for helping make this the most successful Race Day ever!
