On May 26th 150 very important guests attended the Youth Institute 10 Year Celebration Dinner at the Grand in Long Beach. The dinner was hosted by the Youth Institute Alumni, with Phyras Men as the Committee Leader and Leo Salcido as the Master of Ceremonies. The night began with great entertainment from three very talented Youth Institute Alums, Johnny Romero on guitar, Nicole Gutierrez on violin and Ben Falealili performing his Spoken Word piece. Then we gave out awards to our supporters who stuck with us over the years such as Alan Hostrup. Ralph Hurtado and Sally Lew. We also gave awards to our long time financial supporters such as the California Emerging Technology Foundation, ZeroDivide, the California Consumer Protection Foundation, the Beneventures Foundation, Brian Kariger, Marilyn Bohl and Southern California Edison. We want to especially thank the Jeanne Giovannoni Trust for her generous donation for this event. But most of all we wanted to honor our Youth and Alumni who grew up out of the Youth Institute but always find ways to give back. A huge thanks to the YI Alumni Committee for putting on a flawless and professional celebration that the next group will have a hard time matching at the fifteen year event!!
