LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, December 12, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Children’s Institute (CII), a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles, celebrated the success of its 6th Annual Cape & Gown Gala, by raising $820,000 in support of programs for Los Angeles children and families. The celebratory event, held on Sunday, December 8, 2024, at the Skirball Cultural Center, brought together philanthropists, community leaders, frontline staff and celebrities for an unforgettable evening.

The Cape & Gown Gala is one of the most anticipated events of the year for CII, shining a spotlight on the organization’s North Star to create a brighter future for all LA children and families. This year’s event highlighted the CII’s commitment to providing high-quality services that improve the emotional well-being and education success of the organization’s 30,000 program participants, which build pathways to economic mobility and lifelong health.

Attendees enjoyed a fun-filled evening featuring live performances, heartfelt speeches and special recognition of four honorees, Erin Westerman, Co-President of the Motion Picture Group at Lionsgate; Tim Disney, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist; and Deputy Chief Emada Tingirides and retired Deputy Chief Phillip Tingirides, for their positive contributions to society and for advancing community safety and partnership.

“We are thrilled with the outcome of this year’s Cape & Gown Gala,” said Martine Singer, President & CEO of Children’s Institute. “Thanks to the generosity of our friends and supporters, we can continue providing life-saving services to children, families and communities that need them the most. The amount raised is far more than a dollar amount – it represents the hope, love and commitment we share for our CII communities. The funds raised will go directly to strengthening our current programs while expanding our reach to impact more lives.”
