Malibu residents donned 50 shades of white on Friday, May 17, per the dress code of Our Lady of Malibu Church’s annual fundraiser event. This year, the event was a spring gala themed “Beauty from Ashes” to celebrate “the spirit of beauty from ashes.”
Attendees danced to live music, and enjoyed food and drinks in addition to a silent and live auction at Calamigos Ranch. The auctions featured art pieces created by students at Our Lady of Malibu School.
