Photo Flashback: The Diamond Jubilee in Pictures

The Diamond Jubilee evening celebrated our 75th Anniversary in style and we raised thousands of dollars which will go toward scholarships. Check out the photos and stay tuned for details on all the big plans for the coming year.

Setting up for the Benefit: 
Members arrived as early as two hours beforehand in order to get a jump on the preparations.

 Member Nancy bought orchids earlier in the day to turn into corsages for TJA members to wear.



 Finding enough tables to hold our silent auction items was a challenge!

 And, of course, we sold our TJA product at the Benefit.

Our 75th Anniversary's Diamond Jubilee:


 All girls held down shifts at the check-in, product and token tables.

Benefit Success!

Yamashiro in Hollywood was the place to be for TJA members and friends on Friday, April 29. The Diamond Jubilee evening was a celebration of Trojan Junior Auxiliary's 75th anniversary and approximately 115 guests helped us fulfill our primary mission of Scholarship. The final numbers are still being tallied, but it's clear that the evening raised thousands dollars for the TJA Scholarship fund, providing financial support through scholarships to deserving USC Junior and Senior women. Scholarship recipients exemplify what TJA is all about.

While attendees came to give back, at Yamashiro's that evening it was all about the casino games including back jack and roulette, hors d'oeuvres and the silent auction. The two highest ticket items vacation packages to the  Caribbean and to Hawaii, sold for $800 each. Other hot items included: a stay at the Peninsula Beverly Hills, a CSI ultimate fan package including an autographed script and a number of gift certificates to top LA eateries.

Making the most of the stunning Yamashiro location, TJA ladies also showed their flair for fashion. Flashy red heels were a popular choice for more than one member.

All told, the evening was a wonderful capstone to a great year for TJA. Kudos to Benefit Chair Maggie Habib and thanks to all of those who helped make this year's event a stellar one.

Stay tuned for more memorable moments and photos of the event!
