Over 300 guests strolled Robinson Gardens at El Nido Family Centers’ 3rd Annual Garden Gala on Saturday, September 23, 2017 at our most successful fundraising event yet. While perusing the Youth Photography Exhibit and enjoying small bites created by our Culinary Academy youth, guests enjoyed the luxurious garden estate and met the young people whose lives have been dramatically transformed through El Nido. The spotlight was on the clients and their accomplishments in El Nido’s education and mentoring programs.
