Philanthropic Efforts
Elite Eventz has committed to volunteering annually at the Chateau Cocomar Neighborhood Centers, Inc. Annual Children's Christmas Party hosted by Karen Estrada every year since 2011. Each year a special hand selected group of 50 - 75 very deserving students who perform well in school have a chance to visit a castle and live a fairytale experience for a day! There are games, rides, candy, dancing, painting, fireworks, gifts, performances, and many more activities.
"Today I woke up and wasn't feeling very well. Infact, I felt awful and wanted so badly to cancel but I knew that wasn't an option and I couldn't let the devil win. I'm so happy I'm able to participate each year; just to see the smiles, hear the laughs and feel the genuine joy on each of them is well worth it! One little girl opened one of her presents, looked at me and said 'Wow.....this is the best day ever! I never in my life thought I'd have my very own pair of Nike shoes!' She hugged me and I replied, 'I'm so happy that you are happy and you really have changed my life.'
You see to some a pair of Nikes is so small, a hug is so small, and serving a lunch plate is so small but the entire day she kept telling me thank you ma'am because it was a big deal to her. She taught me to appreciate even the smallest of things and gestures. That was truly a blessing!"
-Erica Christine (Elite Eventz, Owner)

In The Fall of 2020 Erica Christine coordinated a group of all black vendors to collectively gift the dream proposal for a deserving couple. Take a look at the video of how it all went down!
