Dinner Under the Stars

On June 11, 2011, Becoming Independent hosted its 20th annual Dinner Under the Stars - "Stars in the Spotlight" at the beautiful Imagery Estate Winery. With '20 years in the making,' this year proved to be one of our most successful. With massive and unprecedented cuts to Becoming Independent's primary state funding being threatened, our goal was even more ambitious than previous years. We are delighted to say we raised over $319,000 this year.

Thank you to everyone who made this event possible: the volunteers, sponsors, donors, Board of Directors, and supporters.
