Serious Fun Gala 2008



Shop with a Cop
On Thursday December 6th Irvine police officers and StoneFire Grill teamed up to bring holiday cheer to the children at the shelter and Second Step at their annual Shop with a Cop event. Thirty five thankful kids were able to shop at Target with a $100 gift card and dine at StoneFire Grill with the officers, sharing a warm holiday memory and creating a positive role model in these children’s lives.

Thanks to the tremendous support of our Co-Chairs Susan and Steve Giusto and Kate and Tim Duchene, the Fall Luncheon Event committee, and the Human Options Board of Directors, Human Options was once again able to exceed our goals and raise over $270,000. Dr. Pollack engaged the crowd with his discussion on the troubles and challenges our boys face today and how we can better understand them, communicate with them, and help them to become emotionally healthier young men. We are grateful for the incredible support this community provides to our community education programs and we look forward to bringing more crucial information about preventing domestic violence to you next year.
