CALM is holding its 11th annual fundraiser this week to benefit children and families in Santa Maria.

The event, titled Let’s Get Loud (formerly Ladies Get Loud), will be Thursday, April 18 at Toyota of Santa Maria’s rooftop lounge.

Let’s Get Loud, presented by SESLOC Credit Union, aims to raise awareness and funds to support CALM’s programs in Santa Maria, which provide trauma prevention and treatment services to children and families in need.

“We are thrilled to open up Let’s Get Loud to everyone in the community,” said Shelby McLean, CALM development manager. “This event is a wonderful opportunity for people to come together, have fun, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of local children and families.

“By standing together, we can make a powerful impact for those who need it most.”
 
Those can’t attend the event can still participate in the live drawing to support CALM for a chance to win one of three prizes: a multicolored sapphire tennis bracelet from Fischer’s Fine Jewelry, a wellness basket, or a $500 gift card to the Hitching Post. Participants need not be present at the event to win.
 
Let’s Get Loud will also feature a live auction with the chance to win a one-week stay at a luxurious townhome in Colorado; a trip for four to Universal Studios Hollywood; or a fully stocked beer and wine fridge.
