Cufflinks & Pearls

Mekdela Global Outreach Foundation presents a night of elegance and sophistication at The Preserve LA. Join us on October 17, 2025 at 6:00 PM (Pacific Time) for an unforgettable evening.

Dress to impress for this all white-formal attire charity gala, and enjoy a night filled with music, dancing, and great company. Come and create lasting memories at Cufflinks & Pearls. See you there!

Your presence is more than support—it’s a lasting gift of transformation. The Cufflinks & Pearls Gala wil unite visionaries under the stars to rewrite futures, pairing timeless elegance with profound impact.

Nestled in the heart of Hollywood yet secluded from its bustle, our gala will transform three sanctuary-like spaces: the Oval Room for dining beneath, the Fountain Courtyard (weather permitting) for twilight cocktails, and the Café Lounge - where premium bar service meets silent auction displays. Arrive effortlessly via underground parking, then wander garden pathways lined with olive trees and soft lighting. Then strike a pose for the red carpet. This hidden gem offers the perfect balance of Hollywood prestige and intimate exclusivity for an evening towards an important cause.

Mekdela Global Outreach has laid transformative groundwork in Ethiopia's highlands, combining strategic planning with tangible progress. We're not just dreaming of change - we're engineering it. Proceeds support the Foundation’s mission to uplift underserved communities through education, healthcare, and sustainable development. Join us for a night of purpose, beauty, and classic style.
