The theme and date of this year’s Glamourama fundraiser for Rady Children’s Hospital is set. The “Destinations 2011” event will be held on Friday, May 13, at 6pm, at the La Costa Resort & Spa. Presented by the North Coast Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary, the event embraces a travel theme. Unit “flight attendants” will greet guests and “passport stamps” will be issued upon arrival. The fundraiser will showcase up to 12 local vendors and an auction, as well as performances by local musicians. This year’s event chairperson is Erika Hill, and Clint Bell will serve as auctioneer. Over the last ten years, Glamourama has raised more than $1 million for Rady Children’s. According to unit chairperson Laura Stearn, “All funds raised from Glamourama 2011 will benefit the Sam and Rose Stein Emergency Care Center, which provides emergency services to as many as 250 children a day.” Stearn’s eight-year-old son Nicolas received life-saving emergency open-heart surgery at Rady’s in 2002. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling Stearn. (760/419-3259, www.radysncu.com) JANE SHIOMI
