The Valley Women’s Center hosted its annual fundraiser at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Woodland Hills on September 23. Jerry O’Connell hosted the event while event co-chair Landon Newson (also known by Matriarch) gave a moving performance in tribute to honoree Captain Kathleen Ryan, a female trailblazer in law enforcement. Captain Ryan has been at the forefront combatting sex crimes, violent offenses, and homicides in Los Angeles. Also included in the day was a fashion show by M. Fredric, boutique shopping, a silent auction, and a raffle. Many community figures came out to show their support, including Mayor Bob Blumenfield and former Calabasas mayor and VWC board member Lucy Martin.
