It just gets better every year!

The Babes of Bacolod hosted what many considered their best fundraiser last September 13, 2008 in Brentwood, California. Done in true Hollywood fashion, about 130 guests walked down the red carpet and posed in front of a backdrop that featured the logos of the Tapulanga Foundation and the Babes of Bacolod. We were especially thrilled with our guests of honor this year, Carmela "MicMic" Golez, director of St. Francis of Assisi School, and Robin Abello, president of the Tapulanga Foundation. Both presented the Babes with a special plaque of recognition for our hard work and dedication.

The jazz trio, Evolution, provided a classy ambiance with their rendition of standards and jazz music. The silent auction items were a big hit this year with donations such as freshwater pearl jewelry from Iridesse and November 27, a crystal ornament from Tiffany, eyelash extensions from D'Lashes, custom-made cupcakes from Dessert Fusion, a clutch from Rafe New York and many, many more. We were once again commended for our delicious buffet dinner especially prepared by the Babes. Overall, It was a job well done for a cause that continues to touch the hearts of many. Thank you for supporting us through the years. It would not have been possible without you!
