Cheers to Changing Lives
The Young Professionals Advisory Council is thrilled to announce the inaugural Cheers to Changing Lives cocktail party, presented by Ernst & Young. Join us for a fundraising soirée dedicated to championing Chrysalis’ transformative job readiness programs and supporting our mission to reduce barriers to employment in Southern California.
Set amidst the vibrant ambiance and ocean view of Expert Dojo in Santa Monica, this party promises an evening brimming with both purpose and connection. You will be treated to a delightful array of offerings, including dancing and live music, an open bar, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction.
With many bright minds in attendance, you will have the opportunity to mingle with emerging leaders from a variety of industries including venture capital, entertainment, real estate, beauty, food, finance, technology, and law.

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.
