The Transition House Auxiliary will mark 25 years of its fun-filled Mad Hatter Fundraiser Luncheon, Tuesday, April 23 at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara.

The event will feature a silent auction at 11 a.m. followed by lunch at noon.

Come Celebrate Our Silver Anniversary is the event theme, and attendees are encouraged to wear hats and festive attire to fit the theme. Prizes will be awarded, and Andrew Firestone will again act as emcee.

Luncheon tickets cost $150 per person, and include valet parking. All proceeds will go to Transition House for its programs dedicated to the solution of family homelessness in the Santa Barbara community.
