Peninsula: Drive-Thru Philanthropy Event Planned Thursday

ROLLING HILLS ESTATES, CA — It's a philanthropy event like any other—Thursday night people can attend a drive-thru philanthropy event with the Palos Verdes Chapter of National Charity League.

Join the group from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Promenade at the Peninsula, 550 Deep Valley Dr. #101, Rolling Hills Estates.

"Even during these uncertain times, PVNCL is committed to bringing positivity and support to our members, community, and philanthropies," the group announced in a news release.

More than 50 mother and daughter teams will cruise through the parking lot to drop off stay-at-home philanthropy projects and donations, organizers told Patch.

There will be signs and tables, boxes with the names of the chapter’s supported philanthropies. Members will also have the chance to see and wave to fellow Patronesses and Ticktockers as they drive through the event.
