The 6th Annual Night at the Ranch Benefiting the

Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach Was a Huge Success!

Laguna Beach, CA [October 8, 2019] — On Friday, September 13th, the 6th Annual “Night at the Ranch” fundraiser benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Laguna Beach took place beneath a spectacular night sky at The Ranch in Laguna. According to co-chairs Steve Blue and Leif Hanson, over 240 guests attended, raising approximately $200,000. After the fun-filled cocktail hour was completed and the silent auction closed, guests were escorted down to the 9th fairway for dinner, music and a live auction.

The live auction included a private plane ride to Bianchi Winery for a VIP tour and wine tasting, the opportunity for a family to participate in the “steal third” experience at an Angels game, a week stay in Manly Beach Australia, a Montage Chef’s table dinner for 12, a Ranch Laguna Staycation, a Trout signed Angels jersey, and a Kuai Beach Condo stay.

One of the highlights of the night was the performance by Common Sense, an American reggae band from Orange County, California. They are known for being one of the first artists to influence the California “surf reggae” movement. Guest enjoyed dancing to the music.

Club Alumnus, Leif Hanson, had the idea of the Night of the Ranch event seven years ago and the event is now one of the best in Laguna. Leif, a resident of Laguna Beach attended what was the Laguna Beach Boys Club during his formable years as a young boy and was looking for a way to give back to his Club. He enlisted his good friend and fellow Club Alumnus Steve Blue and together with their amazing committee has made this event a success. “The number of kids who need us has grown so fast that we’re just trying to keep up. Now we need more support than ever so we can be there for all kids, “says CEO Pam Estes, “Leif, Steve and every supporter of this year’s event showed up to help our kids and we’re extremely grateful.”

Event sponsors include, but not limited to: Holly & Mark Kerslake, Dan & Jenifer Burge, Swift Real Estate Partners, Brooks Street, US Bank, Douglas & Lisa Holte, Angels Baseball, Crevier Classic Cars, Maura & Steve Short, Maggie & Brian Flornes, Jeff & Mary Blue, Montage Laguna, Fredric H.
