EVENTS

Saddle Up, Hermosa! For the 30th year of our annual Hearts of Hermosa fundraiser, we’re celebrating with a Country Western-style gala, turning Hermosa Vista School into a chic Hermosa Ranch. 

Hearts of Hermosa gathers the entire HVS community members to celebrate Hermosa Schools! All of the food, drinks, and auction items are generously donated by local restaurants, bars, brands, businesses, and parents. HVS teachers and staff offer unique Teacher Experiences and the schools’ invaluable art docents showcase collective student talent with Young at Art Projects—all up for bidding in the auction. 

Did we mention the event planners are all parent volunteers?!  And our HBEF Community Partners join to celebrate their ongoing support—sponsors make our Hearts shine. Our Galas wouldn’t happen without YOU—the parents, caregivers, and community members who party the night away with us to raise money for our schools! 

Once again this year, we will enjoy amazing food & drink offerings, silent & live auctions, and a DJ who will bring music styles for every taste on the dance floor. But this year’s gala will include new elements as well, including a very special addition to our entertainment lineup: a set by favorite local band Country Thunder (look for some familiar HVS faces on stage!). What better way to kick up our boot heels?! 

The gala is always epic, and that includes the attire! Our guests BRING IT! Check out this photo galleries for highlights from past Hearts: 2023 Après Ski · 2024 Bond in Monte Carlo! 

Need attire inspiration for this year? We’ve got you covered! Rhinestone Cowboy, Cowboy Carter, Ranch vibes, simple formal with a touch of country (cowboy hat or boots), or just plain evening wear – you do you! You’ve asked for some inspiration pictures & here’s what we’ve wrangled!
