CALM’s Let’s Get Loud fundraiser, now in its 11th year, brought in more than $75,000 to support the prevention and treatment of childhood trauma in the Santa Maria Valley.
Nearly 200 guests gathered at the Toyota of Santa Maria rooftop on April 18 to show support for CALM’s mission.
This year, everyone was invited to the event, formerly called Ladies Get Loud, underscoring CALM’s belief that addressing childhood trauma requires action from the entire community.
“Let’s Get Loud exemplifies the power of a unified community in the fight against childhood trauma,” said Alana Walczak, CALM president/CEO. “Together, we are not only raising funds, we are igniting hope and resilience in the hearts of countless children and families.
“We are grateful to everyone who has joined us in our journey towards creating a safer, healthier future for children and families in Santa Maria.”
It was announced at the event that CALM’s clinical space in Santa Maria will be expanded, allowing CALM to broaden its services in the region.
