2026 Party of the Year

Santa Barbara
Reception at 6:00 pm
Dinner at 7:00 pm
Black Tie
Building on the Cottage Tiara Ball’s 20-year legacy of lifesaving care, this year’s gala will expand our impact to meet the critical needs of children in our community.
Join us for an inspiring evening of elegance and entertainment in support of Cottage Children's Medical Center and the dedicated caregivers who make healing possible. Your generosity helps raise vital funds to sustain a full spectrum of pediatric care—from emergency services to over a dozen outpatient specialties—that all work to ensure children can reach their full potential.
Becoming a sponsor is easy and rewarding, and there are many options for making an impact. See below for more details about Sponsorship Opportunities and Benefits. Benefactors who respond by December 5, 2025, will also be listed on the event invitation. Tickets sell out quickly, so be sure to reserve your spot today!
We look forward to seeing you at The Party of the Year!
For any questions, please contact Esther Takacs at 805-879-8985 or tiaraball@sbch.org.
