The Guilds of Segerstrom Center for the Arts held its annual fundraiser on April 1 at The Island Hotel in Newport Beach, raising more than $125,000 to support Segerstrom Center’s education programs.
The theme was California Surfing, with a title of “Celebrate Creativity: Catch our Wave.”
Marilyn McCorkle chaired this year’s event, which honored Carol Hunter
with The Guilds Inspiration Award. Sandy Bass and Marjorie Gorum co-chair The Guilds.
Entertainment included the Surf City All Stars, a Beach Boys tribute
band. At the event, a video was screened that celebrated the Center’s Summer at the Center program (celebrating its 25th year this summer) for at-risk teenagers. SATC alum Charisma was on hand to share her experience in the program.
Lugano Diamonds was the lead sponsor and provided the raffle grand prize, a South Sea pearl and aquamarine necklace, which was won by Bonne Wheeler.
