July 4th Event – Thank You!

A huge thank you to our residents and sponsors!!!

It was our 11th annual event…..and we grew by hundreds of attendees. It was a large and festive 4th of July celebration! See the pics below—it was a ton of fun! Over $600 was raised for the Special Olympics of Southern California. Thanks for sharing your holiday with us!

Esther Magna, Caron Schwartz, Rachelle Guerin, Rochelle Glucksman, Randie Kleinman and Katherine Meyer made a great team this year, and they appreciate their volunteer crew, including Mark Magna, Phil Gabriel, Polly Bamberger, Chris Fernicola, Dennis Rosenblatt, Hedy Magna, Andrew Meyer, Katherine Meyer’s mom, Samantha Gabriel, Jessica Ezor, Jane Gavens, and of course, Dana and Sandy. Special thanks to Adam and Victor at the park who allowed us to take it over for the day.

THANK YOU SPONSORS:

ACS Security has been feeding us for many years. They happily and swiftly cooked for the entire crowd. Their BBQ dedication was endless and fantastic. To James Tate and his volunteer staff, your dogs and pizza were delicious!

UCLA Health returned for the second year as our Platinum sponsor with a generous contribution that covered most of our expenses. Thank you, UCLA Health for your support of Holmby Westwood. All enjoyed the fans and football giveaways.

Ralphs returned for the second year as our Gold Sponsor and their generosity was seen through their sponsorship of our event, abundant raffle prizes facilitated by a big team from the Westwood store and also the presence of their iconic Ralphs antique Delivery Truck in our parade. The water was appreciated too. Thank you Ralphs!

City Target in Westwood kept kids smiling with face painting and lemonade. Thank you to Stephanie and her friendly Target team.

Our local realtors also deserve our appreciation for their sponsorship. Their sponsorship covered all the kids activities, including the DJ and crafts.

We also appreciate ADT for the water and balloons at Warner School.

The firemen from Station #71 were outstanding and so gracious to stay at the park while kids admired them and their truck.

LA Dancefit Studio rallied participants of all ages to Zumba away!

SPREAD THE WORD about the good work our association does for the benefit of its residents. Community building, constant email communication among 800+ residents and advocacy in City Hall are just a few of the activities our Board undertakes. We must work together for our shared concerns of architectural integrity, greenscape preservation, emergency preparedness and crime watch. Residents pay $75 annually to join HWPOA. You must pay the dues to be a member; being a resident alone won’t do it. Email Dana to sign up at hwpoa@aol.com.

Please send your business to our main sponsors,
as they dedicated their time for goodwill and exposure. These sponsors ensure our event takes place with food and activities for all!
