| Westar Associates at the Gentlemen’s Haberdashery |
In Orange County’s social circuit, The Gentlemen’s Haberdashery is a beacon of style and charity. Recently, 40 of the county’s top male leaders, including members of Westar Associates, graced the event’s runway to support the Heart of Jesus Retreat Center in Santa Ana. Conceived in 1978 by the Sisters of the Society Devoted to the Sacred Heart and then-Orange County Supervisor Thomas F. Riley and his wife, Emma Jane, this fundraiser has grown into a vital source of funding for the Center’s religious and developmental programs for children. The Heart of Jesus Retreat Center welcomes 12,000 attendees annually, providing a safe haven for spiritual growth. Westar Associates’ participation reflects their commitment to community and philanthropy, shining a light on the importance of giving back and unity in creating a brighter future for all.
