The Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad held their annual gala “Havana Nights” at the Four Seasons Aviara on Saturday, August 29, 2009 and raised nearly $185,000 in support of the Clubs’ after school programs.
“I am extremely proud of the fun, memorable evening we shared,” said Honorary Chair John Cottingham, Chief Legal officer of Life Technologies. “And, thanks to the talented members of the event committee, we were able to raise significant funds that will benefit our community’s children.”
