An estimated $100,000 in net proceeds was generated at Vocational Visions' Enchanted Evening fundraising event that honored Pavilion’s Stores as its 2012 Employer of the Year.  About 380 guests donned western attire for the “Enchanted Evening…with County Flair!” themed event on Saturday, April 28 at the Irvine Marriott Hotel.

Pavilion’s has been instrumental in facilitating employment opportunities for men and women with developmental and other disabilities at seven of their south Orange County stores. Pavilion’s managers are committed to hiring Vocational Visions participants for long-term employment and go out of their way to accommodate their special scheduling needs.

Master Sommelier Peter Neptune served as event emcee and auctioneer for the lively affair.
