Violets’ Giving Circle’s 2023 Fundraising Event

Violets' Giving Circle (VGC) is a student-led organization of 10 juniors and 10 seniors who collectively form the board of a student-initiated, donor-advised charitable fund. VGC’s mission is to improve the lives of women and girls in Los Angeles through educational opportunities; to date, they have donated over $380,000 to organizations across the city. 

VGC rotates between a year of fundraising and a year of grantmaking. 2023 marks a fundraising year and the board is planning a massive event to raise funds through ticket sales and auction items. This year’s event is called Self-Portrait: Frame Your Story. It will feature film, fashion, and art created and modeled by students and reviewed by a panel of celebrity judges, including Ellen Pompeo. The students involved are hoping to maximize participation to reach the largest audience and fundraising goal in their history.
