Westwood In A Minute: Westwood Community Chest Raises More Than $50,000 for Resident Grants

Over 100 attendees dressed up in fun hats and outfits for Westwood Community Chest's (WCC's) annual Blue Ribbon Derby themed Gala at Brookmeadow Country Club in Canton, helping to raise more than $50,000 for grants to Westwood residents in need of financial assistance.

The event featured Southern cuisine, horse-racing-themed drinks, and a silent auction with over 50 items that included sports tickets, vacation getaways, and restaurant and retail experiences. 

WCC is a volunteer-run non-profit organization. Along with short-term, confidential assistance to Westwood residents in the form of grants, WCC also provides summer camperships -  scholarships to help finance summer activities for school-aged children.
