The Joys of Giving

Empowering HeArts: Building Hope Butterfly Ball promises to be an outstanding Art Gala showcasing the stories of six single parent families of our community, and six artists from the Santa Clarita Artist Association. It is our hope that by sharing these powerful stories through word and art, these extraordinary women will impact and inspire others to rise above their own challenging circumstances.

We have three very unique events on our February cover, all are tied in to local non-profits and we hope you will support one or all of them this month. Single Mothers Outreach is pleased to announce this year’s Empowering HeArts Honorees whose lives personify their theme this year, “Building Hope Butterfly Ball” join them on February 10th at Sand Canyon Country Club to celebrate the honorees and artists.
