was a gigantic success, thanks to
our amazing community!
Thank you to our venue sponsor,
Westfield Valencia Town Center,
for making it possible, and to all of our sponsors, our emcee George Gray, our vendors and amazing volunteers for being a part of what will be an annual event!

WiSH has been working with Westfield Valencia Town Center's Audra Cheney for years...she has been our closest contact, has partnered with us on a multitude of events by giving us fabulous venues, moved mountains to ensure our successful events, put in hours of marketing and admin time and has supported us over and above since the day she started. As she moves on from her position at Westfield, we cannot say enough good words about Audra, about how much we will miss her smile and positivity, her professionalism, but mostly how much we appreciate her generous dedication to our community and in particular, to WiSH.
She leaves very big shoes to fill, indeed.
Audra, we love you and WiSH you good luck!
We appreciate our sponsors!

Mark your calendars for the
2021 SCV Charity Chili Cookofff
Event founders Nicole Stinson and Steve Portaro support student wellness
Did you know that 31% of our students were labeled as socioeconomically disadvantaged in 2019? Since COVID, those numbers have risen dramatically. Your support makes a difference for ALL of our students.

WiSH will be a beneficiary of the event, being held at the Valencia Hyatt on October 28th at 6pm. The proceeds will benefit our hardest hit students who are experiencing food and housing insecurity.
