Rancho Los Alamitos' 12th Annual Cottonwood Award Luncheon

The Cottonwood Award Luncheon honors those who have contributed to the success of the city's cultural and historical resources, including Rancho Los Alamitos. This annual fundraiser, hosted by the Rancho Los Alamitos Foundation, generates critical support for our programs and future development.
 
An event like no other, Cottonwood is an opportunity to network with friends, colleagues, and community leaders over a traditional BBQ lunch served on the Rancho's barnyard lawn. Cottonwood helps generate critical funds to support the Rancho's free educational programs for visitors of all ages, including educational programs for thousands of school children.
