Pacific Palisades, CA (Vocus) October 14, 2010
The Pacific Palisades estate of Peggy and Halbert Washburn was transformed in to a Chinese paradise for Children Chain’s annual dinner dance, Under the Shanghai Moon on October 2, 2010. More than 150 members and friends joined together to raise money for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The event featured dinner, dancing, and a wine auction.
The event was sponsored and catered by Panda Restaurant Group and featured the signature Mandarin and Szechwan cuisine of Panda Inn. Traditional Chinese dancers kicked off the evening with a traditional Shanghai dance performance. A competitive wine auction was sponsored by Harry’s Wines.
The event raised much-needed funds in support of the Associates Endowment for Clinical Research and Technology at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Clinical Imaging Research and Technology is a rapidly expanding discipline which uses state of the art non-invasive technology to research and detect disease in infants, children, and youth.
“It is a joy to celebrate and support the life-saving work of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles,” said Anne Manrique, chair of Children’s Chain. ”We are grateful to the Washburns and all of our event sponsors who support our efforts.”
