As a local Realtor® and Luxury Senior Real Estate Specialist, I truly enjoy bringing our community together to support meaningful causes and benefit our local nonprofits. Creating opportunities where neighbors, business owners, and friends can connect while giving back is something I’m deeply passionate about.

That’s why I’m excited to invite you to our next Wine & Design Mixer, benefiting Desert Best Friend’s Closet. Hosted by me, Craig Michaels of Desert Lifestyle Properties, this special evening takes place on Thursday, February 26th, beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the beautiful Cambria Gallery, located at 42210 Cook Street in Palm Desert.

Join us for a chic and intimate design soirée that welcomes homeowners, design lovers, and community advocates alike. Desert Best Friend’s Closet is dedicated to empowering individuals through education and employment opportunities, helping them achieve economic independence. Learn more at bfcloset.org.

This gathering seamlessly blends community spirit, innovative design ideas, and philanthropy in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. With the peak home buying and selling season in full swing, it’s the perfect opportunity to gather fresh ideas to refresh, upgrade, or reinvent your space. Network with top local professionals specializing in home improvements, property enhancements, and creative design solutions, while connecting with like-minded individuals who share your passion for beautiful living and giving back.

Adding an artistic touch, featured local artist Paulina Torres will showcase her captivating artwork for guests to admire and collect. Enjoy complimentary wine, champagne, and a delectable selection of appetizers as you mingle and explore. Don’t forget to bring your business cards for a chance to win exciting raffle prizes. Local businesses are also invited to donate raffle items, with supporters recognized during the event.

Best of all, a $15 donation at the door directly benefits Desert Best Friend’s Closet, supporting low-income Coachella Valley residents by providing professional interview and work attire and empowering them to step confidently into their futures. Save the date and join us for an inspiring night of design, community, and giving back.

This evening would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Western Air Cooling & Heating, JTE Escrow, Desert Premium Paints, Can Genie, Adamson & McGoldrick Insurance Solutions, STV | PSC Home Automation Audio & Video Systems, Luminate Bank, Desert United, Mario’s Tile Care & Concrete Cleaning, Palm Desert Chamber of Commerce, CV Weekly, Masvino Wines, and Trypps.

With its warm and inviting ambiance, the Wine & Design Mixer offers a perfect blend of style, community, and purpose. It’s a fun opportunity to stay ahead of the latest design trends, discover talented local artists, and support impactful causes right here in our neighborhood.

And if you can’t make it to the February event, don’t worry—another fabulous Wine & Design Mixer is coming up in March. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today. Invite your friends and join us for an evening of inspiration, connection, and creativity.
