The long-awaited Annual Gala of the year was held at the American Jewish University in Bel Air, California. The event was scheduled to be from 3:00 pm to 10:00 pm, but lasted until at least 11:00 pm, because everyone was enjoying the night by dancing to the classic hits played by the DJ.

A portion of the proceeds from the event’s ticket sales went to the Maison De Music Foundation for student scholarships.

The event was intended to be a fundraiser for the Maison De Music Foundation scholarship fund, but sadly very few people donated to the fund although they clearly enjoyed the event. However, we have some good news! There is still a way to donate to this very worthwhile cause, even if you didn’t attend the gala, and ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE! Please help by donating today!
