Charity Event

Okizu's Art Inspiring Hope Gala last Sat night!

A good time was had by all at this outstanding annual event to support Okizu's camp for children with cancer, and their families. This year's event was a Candy Land theme, so we enjoyed feeling like kids in the candy store for a night of great fun. "Pop Rocks" provided the music to get everyone dancing! The silent and live auctions raised funds to send all children (and even their siblings) to a week of summer camp at no cost to their families. Kudos to Hennessy Funds for their generous support including matching donations, Hunter & Lisa Spencer who kicked off the Giving, and to Danielle Olbrantz for chairing the event. A special thank you to our friends, John and Marsha Bell, who have dedicated the last 42 years to John's vision as one of the original Okizu founders, and keeping it alive.
