In the vibrant landscape of Los Angeles, a group of extraordinary women assembled on a sunny afternoon in 1953, fueled by a shared agenda and a burning passion. Little did they know that their gathering would ignite a movement, shaping countless children’s lives. With unwavering determination, they set out to raise funds and organize transformative programs, laying a foundation of commitment and compassion that would become the essence of SHARE, Inc.
SHARE emerged as a beacon of hope and a driving force for change from that fateful lunch. Over almost 70 illustrious years, SHARE has raised an astounding $65 million, a testament to the indomitable spirit of its members. Today, this esteemed organization boasts a vibrant community of over 80 dedicated individuals who selflessly contribute their time, resources, and unwavering efforts to carry forward the original mission of empowering needy children through fundraising.
Throughout its storied history, SHARE has supported numerous programs and facilities catering to children with special needs. In its formative years, SHARE’s fundraising efforts blazed a trail, laying the groundwork for prominent institutions such as the Exceptional Children’s Foundation and the renowned Stuart House at The Rape Treatment Center. In later years, SHARE spearheaded fundraising initiatives that fueled groundbreaking research into developmental disabilities by establishing the SHARE Child Disability Center at Cedars-Sinai.
Complementing this grand affair, SHARE orchestrates many exciting fundraising events, including A Day at the Races, Poker Night, and Ladies Night Out: A Bachelor Auction. Each event is a testament to the tireless work, unwavering dedication, and profound passion of the SHARE Ladies in their mission to uplift the lives of children in need.
