The Emily Shane Foundation hosted its annual Wings Over Malibu gala this weekend. The sold-out event was held at Sunset Restaurant, where dozens gathered to help raise money for the charitable foundation, named after Emily Shane.
Following Shane’s death in 2010 at the age of 13, her parents Michel and Ellen began the foundation in her memory, to help provide educational opportunities to middle school students who struggle to learn in conventional classroom settings.
