Santa Barbara is fortunate to have amazing nonprofits serving critical community needs. We are also blessed with world-class cultural institutions that enrich the lives of all residents. This year, as usual, these nonprofits hosted hundreds of spectacular events. Most of these pics are from fundraisers, which not only raise crucial funds, but are also some of the best parties in town.
