The WiSH Education Foundation recently held its fourth annual “Cocktails on the Roof” event, raising $40,000 for the William S. Hart Union High School District STEAM programs.

The funds raised are slated to go towards the arts, since money has already been set aside for programs like music, graphic design and literacy, according to the foundation.

“This year was our largest yet, with more booths than we’ve ever had before, offering a huge number of choices in food and drink. You really had to pace yourself,” said Amy Daniels, executive director of the WiSH Education Foundation. “In addition to many of your favorite local restaurants, we had several single spirit vendors, wineries and breweries who offered imaginative drinks to our guests. We also had a voting booth for best signature cocktail, and this year the winner was first-time participant Claim Jumper restaurant with their Grilled Pineapple Margarita, which has now been added to their featured menu.”

The event was held on top of the Westfield Valencia Town Center parking garage, where the space was transformed into a classic rooftop party, complete with trees, lighting, dancing and lounge spaces, according to officials.
