On March 7, 2009, YPO Santa Monica Bay hosted a spectacular event at Raleigh Studios, Hollywood. All proceeds raised by this event will go toward the purchase of iBOT mobility systems - state-of-the art wheelchairs -  for returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. 

The 400 packed audience bid on once-in-a-lifetime live auction items that included exclusive adventures not available anywhere.

In their year of "Pay It Forward, Making a Difference Where We Live, Work, and Play," YPO Santa Monica wanted to make a difference for our brave American Heroes.

After Saturday night's success, there is no question a big difference was made.
