A Letter from our President:
After much consideration, the National Charity League, Inc. Ventura County Chapter Juniors has decided to cancel our 2020 Gala, Starry Night. With the increasing social restrictions advised and mandated by our national, state and local government, we find it impossible to reschedule.
While we are disappointed we will not be able to enjoy a wonderful night together at the Camarillo Airport to raise funds for the Ventura County Medical Center’s Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases (CCCB) and Ronald McDonald Family Room (RMFR), your tickets and sponsorship can still make an enormous impact in the lives of the vulnerable children and families we serve. Fundraising events like ours provide critical support to CCCB and RMFR, who would not be able to offer their services otherwise. The current circumstances are unforeseeable, beyond our control and has now impacted funding for our cause.
By converting your sponsorship or ticket to a donation you will be able to deduct the full amount from your taxes. This will allow the CCCB to provide services including an infusion clinic, procedural sedation, inpatient chemotherapy, transfusions, clinical research, and psycho-social support. The funds that you have helped to provide pay for the Center’s necessary operating costs, a portion of physician salaries, education, treatment equipment, training, and social services. A portion of your proceeds will also benefit the RMFR which is expected to open later this year.
On a positive note, our Silent Auction will now be completely virtual! Our members worked very hard to offer great items and many of them were donated from our local businesses. Our virtual silent auction will open for bidding at 5:00pm on Saturday, March 21st. Please visit www.ncljuniors.givesmart.com to enter our virtual auction and start bidding! We will keep our auction open until May 16th at 12:00pm. We can all agree this is a stressful time for our community and perhaps a virtual auction will provide a nice distraction! I know I will need something to look forward to this summer.
Thank you again for your continued support of the Ventura County Medical Center’s Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases and Ronald McDonald Family Room. We need your support now more than ever.
Stay safe and healthy
We are extremely grateful for those who continue to offer generous support to improve the quality of life for the patients of the Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases at VCMC.

AUCTION
Please consider supporting our fundraising efforts by donating items for the silent and live auction at our event.
We are asking for your support for our annual gala, “A Starry Night” taking place Saturday, March 21, 2019 at the Camarillo Airport. Guests will enjoy an evening sipping signature cocktails, gourmet cuisine, live music, and dancing. A silent and live auction will help us raise funds for the Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases at VCMC.
In addition to supporting this important cause, our on-line auction also provides a valuable platform for you and your company for visibility within our community. The item(s) that you donate will be featured both in our on-line catalog (accompanied by a picture, logo and/or link to your website) as well as at the actual event.
If you are able to donate an item to help us raise money to support critical care for sick children, please:
· Complete the donation form, including any restrictions or expiration dates for the items.
· Return the form and the item at your earliest convenience.
