Hillside’s Annual Sunset Soiree
Hillside celebrated its 19th Annual Sunset Soiree on Saturday, June 3rd. The event took place at the Cabrillo Pavilion with the beautiful Santa Barbara coastline and sunset as a backdrop. Hillside has been serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community for nearly 80 years. The Sunset Soiree serves as a celebration of support for Hillside residents and the staff who care for them. The event included a three-course dinner with wine pairings by Gavin Chanin of Chanin Wine Company, live music, and both silent and live auctions. An inspiring program highlighted Virginia Lee Harvey-Troesch as Hillside’s 2023 Person of Purpose and presented Jose Silva with the 2023 Advancing Abilities Award.
The kindness and generosity of all attendees, sponsors, and donors ensures that Hillside residents have access to on-site medical care, therapies, independent living skills, and life-enrichment opportunities they need, and rightfully deserve, to live their fullest lives.

Making it Easier for You to Give…
Hillside residents live far below the poverty level. In order to help them live their fullest lives, Hillside needs to raise in excess of $800,000 a year to provide them with a variety of critically important therapies, programs, and services. Here are some of the ways you can help:
•Become a “Hillside Hero” – By donating a specific amount monthly to Hillside through an “auto pay” transfer from your bank account or credit card, or by sending in a check or cash, you can provide steady support for the ongoing work of Hillside.
•Will or Trust – Hillside has partnered with FreeWill, an online estate planning tool that makes it easy to create your own plan, at no cost to you! Please consider designating a percentage or fixed amount from your estate to Hillside.
•Donor Advised Funds – Talk to your financial advisor or accountant to create a DAF.
•Qualified Charitable Distributions – This is a tax-advantaged way for those 70.5 years or older to contribute funds to Hillside directly from their IRA. These donations help you meet your annual Required Minimum Distributions (RMD’s), and can be excluded from your taxable income!
