Expressing Appreciation for Santa Monica Business Partnerships

Thank you to all who participated in our week-long Mother's day events!

This past week we hosted a weeklong series of free events and activities at The UCLA Family Commons as a celebration of mothers within our community. The campaign, Mother’s Week, was a huge success and created a platform for The Commons and other great local businesses to show our appreciation for the most important women in the world, Mothers!

The funny thing about appreciation is that we all want to feel it, but how often do we adequately show it?

As we were planning Mother’s Week and creating an exciting calendar of events just for moms, we found that many other local businesses shared the desire to express their appreciation to all these great women. In turn, we became deeply appreciative to all of these businesses who shared that common vision: , Color Me Mine, , , , , The Mother Company, California Baby, , and Cutie’s Juices. This support helped to make Mother’s Week an amazing experience for everyone, and the outcome was tremendous.

All week long we have been receiving incredible feedback from mothers in the community letting us know how much they appreciated Mother’s Week and the efforts of everyone involved. It was a social gathering that brought families together, it was a great way for moms to spend time with their children, and it was an opportunity for moms to be put first.

We are happy to hear all the amazing feedback and we want to thank everyone in the city of Santa Monica – this truly is an amazing community that we should all appreciate.
