Patti and Pizza for a Cause

Justine Roddick and Tina Schlieske opened the gates of their charming Montecito estate for a special concert by iconic singer-songwriter Patti Smith.

More than 120 guests turned out for the Merryl Brown-organized boffo bash, which raised $135,000 to be split equally between the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation and CADA – the Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse.

A scrumptious selection of pizzas from Lucca WoodFired Catering were on the menu and even a colorful candy counter.

Among Smith’s many fans were Earl Minnis, Kenny Loggins, Alan and Lisa Parsons, Dean Noble, Luke and Michelle Ebbin, Gary and Camille Fruin, John Thyne, Ralph and Diana MacFarlane, CADA’s Catherine Remak, and Corey Pahanish, new executive director of the Teddy Bear Cancer Foundation.
