2009 BRAVO AUCTION
BRAVO! is the prestigious annual award given for outstanding contributions to the Arts. This year our BRAVO! recipients are threefold! We will celebrate film and stage star Carol Channing and her husband Harry Kullijian who, through the Dr. Carol Channing and Harry Kullijian Foundation for the Arts fundraiser continue vital efforts to keep performing arts education in California schools. In addition, we honor Keith Kreitman for his passionate journalistic coverage of the local arts scene in newspapers including the San Mateo Daily Journal and the San Mateo County Times as well as his television program, "Inside Arts".
