By Vic Gerami

On Saturday, September 19, 2026, a powerful evening of purpose, culture, and community will unfold under the stars at a private residence in Pasadena. Dedicated philanthropist Simon Guevrekian is opening his beautiful garden to host the annual “Stand with Fallen Angels” fundraising event, a night dedicated entirely to benefiting Angels Joy.

Among the many charitable causes Simon champions, Angels Joy holds a deeply personal significance. The organization’s critical mission centers on shielding at-risk children, supporting underprivileged single mothers, and protecting abused girls to safeguard them from violence and human trafficking. The upcoming garden party serves as a vital lifeline to raise the funds necessary to continue this transformative, protective work.

An Elegant Evening for a Vital Cause

Guests attending the evening will experience an exceptional program of fine gourmet vegetarian cuisine, an assortment of beverages, and a stellar lineup of cultural entertainment. The night features highly anticipated live performances by Bijan Konjkav, Farid Ghasemi, and Nematollah Ghotb, alongside a captivating presentation by the Nika Imani Dance Group.

The event runs from 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and there are multiple ways for community members and corporate partners to get involved and drive an impact. Admission is $100 per person, and premium sponsorship opportunities are available to further elevate funding for the cause:

Platinum Sponsor ($2,000): Includes 8 complimentary tickets, 8 commemorative wristbands, and 8 symbolic lanterns to light up the night sky.
Gold Sponsor ($1,000): Includes 4 complimentary tickets, 4 wristbands, and 4 lanterns.
Silver Sponsor ($500): Includes 2 complimentary tickets, 2 wristbands, and 2 lanterns.
