Dessert Party
Dessert Party - 2003

Park Plaza Hotel
Hosted by Showtime Networks Inc.
Benefits the Clients of
L.A. Family Housing's Valley Shelter
About 14 years ago, Pam (current board member) and Jerry Offsay
(President of Original Programming Showtime Networks, Inc.) hosted
a backyard party to help the growing number of Los Angeles residents
struggling to make ends meet. In 1994, Showtime sponsored this party,
which had grown from an initial 150 neighbors and friends to over
2,000 attendees. The event now features live entertainment, a casino
and desserts from more than 140 area restaurants. Over the years,
celebrities such as Steven Weber, Salma Hayek, Kenneth "Babyface"
Edmonds, Ruth Livier, Bruce Davidson, Tony Plana, Jose Temest, among
others have attended and shown their support for LAFH and our mission.
All told, the Dessert Party has raised over $700,000 for LAFH programming,
including over $110,000 last year alone. All the leftover sweets
are shared with our clients at Valley Shelter and TLC in North Hollywood.
