Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters (CBBBS) will be holding their Champions for Youth Gala on Thursday, May 31.
The gala, which benefits youth mentoring in Los Angeles, will feature cocktails, a silent auction, dinner and awards. Long time board member and supporter Kevin Shannon, of Newmark Knight Frank, is being honored. Youth and volunteers within the program will also be recognized.
All proceeds from the gala will benefit CBBBS’ award-winning mentoring programs, which have greatly benefited the youth of Los Angeles in countless ways.
