Community Calendar

Come out and support scholarships for youth sports, recreation and enrichment programs for Estero Bay kids while you enjoy the classic film the Bad News Bears. This movie is a fundraiser for the Community Foundation of Estero Bay. In addition to the featured film, hot dogs + beer/wine + regular concessions will be available for purchase.

This special benefit evening supports Good Samaritan Shelter, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of the Central Coast’s most vulnerable populations. The evening will feature the premiere of Hope Lives Here: Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness, a short documentary created for Public Broadcasting Television. The film offers an intimate look at the challenges of homelessness in Santa Barbara County and the impact of programs that provide shelter, support, and hope.

Before the screening, sponsors and VIP guests will enjoy a reception featuring farm-to-table cuisine prepared by Good Samaritan’s Culinary Training Program, with ingredients grown at Bridgehouse Farm. Following the premiere, the audience will be treated to a musical performance by Lois Mahalia and a intimate conversation between actor Duane Henry and Sylvia Barnard, Executive Director of Good Samaritan, about his early life story.
