LB Celebrates… the 30th!

Listen up, you hep cats and classy dames!

Leadership Burbank is celebratin’ a whopping thirty years of makin’ things hum in this neck of the woods, and we’re throwin’ a bash that’ll be the cat’s meow! Thank you to all of our sponsors, guests, alumni, and leaders from all over Burbank!

 

Leadership Burbank marked its 30th anniversary with “Sneakin’ & Sippin’ at the Speakeasy” — a glamorous, prohibition-inspired fundraiser on Saturday, November 15 at 6:00 PM. We transformed a Burbank favorite, Romancing The Bean in Burbank’s Magnolia Park neighborhood, to be our swanky speakeasy.

 

All night long, guests enjoyed an immersive experience, complete with thematic décor, silent auction, entertainment, drinks on the house and delicious dinner bites. Plus a few clandestine surprises — including a secret, walkable second stop for those “in the know.” A period-style password was shared with confirmed guests ahead of the event.

 

You can still donate to celebrate Leadership Burbank’s 30th anniversary! 

 

Thank you to our Sponsors:
