Hillside’s Annual Sunset Soiree
Hillside celebrated its 19th Annual Sunset Soiree on Saturday, June 3rd. The event took place at the Cabrillo Pavilion with the beautiful Santa Barbara coastline and sunset as a backdrop. Hillside has been serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community for nearly 80 years. The Sunset Soiree serves as a celebration of support for Hillside residents and the staff who care for them. The event included a three-course dinner with wine pairings by Gavin Chanin of Chanin Wine Company, live music, and both silent and live auctions. An inspiring program highlighted Virginia Lee Harvey-Troesch as Hillside’s 2023 Person of Purpose and presented Jose Silva with the 2023 Advancing Abilities Award.
The kindness and generosity of all attendees, sponsors, and donors ensures that Hillside residents have access to on-site medical care, therapies, independent living skills, and life-enrichment opportunities they need, and rightfully deserve, to live their fullest lives.
