The Party
The opulent ballroom of The Grand Del Mar was packed as supporters of the Center for Community Solutions’ campaign to end rape and relationship violence gathered for the organization’s 15th annual Tea & Tonic.
The Players
Before teatime, VIPs sipped Champagne while bidding at the silent auction and making plans for the event’s first-ever afterparty, which featured a tequila tasting and lipstick-print readings.
The Scene
Emotion reigned in the ballroom when honoree Danielle Tansino, a survivor who went on to found Red My Lips, shared her story before surrendering the stage to actress Kathy Najimy, who applauded the gathered women’s support of their sisters’ struggles. -Photography by Stacy Keck
