Founded by Lee Boyles, this incredible South Bay event brings our community together for an evening of connection, style, and purpose — all in support of organizations serving vulnerable children and families, including Make Good, Hope in a Suitcase, Film2Future, and For Goodness Cakes.

As a family law firm rooted in El Segundo, supporting children and strengthening families is at the heart of what we do — both inside and outside the courtroom. We’re honored to stand behind this meaningful cause (and cheer on my wife as she’s involved in this special night!).

If you’re local to the South Bay, we’d love to see you there supporting these impactful nonprofits. 💛
