Participate in a Summer Soiree on Anderson Munger YMCA rooftop
NEW MURALS grace the rooftop at the Anderson Munger Family YMCA in time for the Summer Soiree. They were painted by teens from the community and completed with YMCA partner Off The Wall Graffiti.
HONOREE Jane Gilman.
Enjoy dinner and a fundraiser for a very good cause at the Anderson Munger Family YMCA on Fri., Aug. 18, from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
The Summer Soiree will take place on the rooftop at the YMCA, 4301 W. Third St.
“It has a great view of the city,” YMCA Board Member Patricia Carroll told us.
The event celebrates the ninth anniversary of the site and is a test run for a celebration of the 10th, Carroll added. Jane Gilman, Larchmont Chronicle co-founder, is an honoree.
“We’re honoring people who had originally been involved in the capital campaign. Jane Gilman contributed so much through the Chronicle in the beginning,” said Carroll, who is also a board member of the Larchmont Boulevard Association.
Philanthropist Michael Pak, owner of the Koreatown Run Club, also is an honoree.
The money raised will support the Y’s Youth and Government Program, summer and winter camps and food programs, among other programs, Y Executive Director Rae Jin told us.
“Especially during the pandemic and after, the Y really stepped up as a pillar of the Korean and Greater Wilshire communities,” Carroll said.
Homeboy Industries, founded by Windsor Square native Father Greg Boyle, will cater the event. For tickets, visit ymcala.org/summersoiree.
