Ambiance Boutiques in downtown San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles held a two-day fundraiser totaling $1,844 for Big Brothers Big Sisters. Their donation helps support the agency’s one-to-one mentoring programs throughout the county.
Executive Director Anna Boyd-Bucy said, “Ambiance is making a big difference in the community. The children who receive a mentor because of their generosity will grow up to be better educated, wealthier and have stronger relationships.”
