What an extraordinary day yesterday at Malibu City Hall! Our Founder Maria D’Angelo- was the very happy recipient of the Rite Aid Foundation’s prestigious “KidChamp” Award, and we couldn’t be more over the moon for her! 👏Thank you, thank you so very much to Gayle Rife, and #RiteAidFoundation President Tracy Henderson (who practically flew through fire from Pennsylvania just to get here for the day, to present Maria with the award personally!) and the incredible Rite Aid Foundation staff, as well as their tremendous video and photography crew! Thank you, truly, to our really extraordinary friends- who all spoke so movingly about Maria yesterday- including Malibu Mayor Karen Farrer, former Malibu Mayor and City of Malibu Councimember Laura Rosenthal, wonderful CLF supporter & Grindstone Entertainment President Barry Brooker, CLF’s Francesca McCaffery, our dear CLF Lifesaver Ellen Poyer - and the terrific CLF Family the Lopez Family ( Karen, Brian and Prudencia!) - we love you all so much...Thank you, also, so very much to the City of Malibu and Brittany Saleaumua for opening the Malibu Performing Arts Center to us for the afternoon.
