12th Annual Tribute to the Stars
The Culver City Education Foundation’s twelfth annual Tribute to the Stars on Friday May 7, 2010 held at The Radisson Hotel in Culver City, was a resounding success. With over 310 in attendance which included parents, CCUSD teachers, administrators and classified employees and supportive community members in attendance, over $61,000 was raised for CCEF’s programs. Everyone associated with this event was incredibly generous from the business community who donated auction items; to the awards and event sponsors, including Playa Vista, the Roll ‘n Rye Restaurant, See’s Candies, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Time Warner Cable, Tower Insurance Associates and Westfield Culver City; and the attendees who opened their hearts and wallets to purchase auction items and make donations. Culver City community demonstrated how they value our great schools even in these difficult times.
