The event is expected to raise about $20,000 for the YWCA of North Orange County.

Programs that will benefit include “Beyond Shelter,” which provides a room and support services for working women, breast-cancer screenings for women of limited means, a youth employment service and a child development center for low- to moderate-income families.

The YWCA programs empower families to live independent and productive lives, giving them a “hand up, not a hand out,” said Linda Symonds, executive director.
