A high-energy group of children and families celebrated on New York Street at the Warner Brothers' famous back lot in December. LA's Best - the nationally recognized after-school program for deserving children run by the Mayor and the City of Los Angeles, sent 400 deserving children and their families to Warner Brothers to see Santa Claus and an excerpt from Los Angeles Ballet's The Nutcracker. Underwritten by Wachovia Bank, the event showcased Los Angeles Ballet's commitment to serving LA's underprivileged communities through its Outreach program LAB's POP!/Power of Performance.

Amy Saralegui, Publisher of Los Angeles magazine announces Los Angeles magazine will partner with Los Angeles Ballet for ongoing sponsorship and support. Los Angeles magazine participated in the Art for the Arts gala at Bergamot Station in November, and in December co-sponsored a Nutcracker performance at Warner Brothers Studios for deserving children from LA's Best.

A crisp fall evening saw a crowd of Los Angeles Ballet supporters turn out at Bergamot Station to fundraise, enjoy superb food, fine wine, dazzling art and a preview of LAB's upcoming season. LAB Board Members Denise Domergue and Wayne Blank chaired the gala, with art provided by renowned artists Edward Ruscha, Charles Arnoldi, Larry Bell and many others.
