• Movie: Cruising the Crowd

Santa Barbara’s most anticipated event, voted the “Best Charity Event” by the Santa Barbara Independent Reader’s Poll, this event features top entertainment and fabulous fare to a sold out crowd of over 1,000 guests.

All monies raised at this event benefit the local chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. From wheelchairs and walkers, free clinics, family support groups and summer camps for children, to research to find the causes and cures for more than 40 neuromuscular diseases, the local chapter of the Muscular Dystrophy Association needs your support.

The Muscular Dystrophy Association is a voluntary health agency -- a dedicated partnership between scientists and concerned citizens aimed at conquering neuromuscular diseases that affect more than a million Americans.

MDA was created in 1950 by a group of adults with muscular dystrophy, parents of children with muscular dystrophy, and a physician-scientist studying the disorder. Since its earliest days it has been energized by its number-one volunteer and national chairman, entertainer Jerry Lewis.

The Association's programs are funded almost entirely by individual private contributors. MDA seeks no government grants, United Way funding or fees from those it serves.
