Petersen Automotive Museum
Since its inception more than two decades ago, the illustrious Chrysalis Butterfly Ball has raised over $20 million toward helping individuals navigate obstacles on their path to meaningful employment. This captivating evening under a starlit sky was held for the first time at the Petersen Automotive Museum – a dynamic venue showcasing automotive history, culture, and artistry.
At this event, we celebrated the spirit of Chrysalis clients and honored esteemed leaders in film, television, music, art, and business who are dedicated to making waves of transformative change throughout our community. Thank you for changing lives with us!

A note about foundation and donor advised funds:
Please note that the IRS prohibits the use of Foundation or Donor Advised Funds where more than an incidental benefit is received by the donor in return (e.g. event table/tickets, purchase of auction items). This prohibition applies regardless of whether the donor pays separately for the benefits received (i.e. the “non-deductible” amount). All table/ticket and auction purchases therefore must be funded personally outside of a Foundation or Donor Advised Fund. For further guidance, please consult with your administrator.
