Reunion 805 is a free benefit honoring Ventura County's disaster survivors and reconnecting our community. The wildfires made a tremendous impact, but we have grown and are rising from the ashes.
The event recognizes the anniversaries of the Thomas, Woolsey and Hill Fires, and Borderline. Funds raised will support the ongoing needs of impacted Ventura County families.
Highlights include an art show by seven Thomas fire survivors, tribute wall, photo booth, magician, corn hole, silent auction, and live music by The Vinyl Gypsies. Enjoy wine and beer, and local restaurants offerings - all donated to help our communities! Numerous long-term nonprofits will provide recovery and preventative information. Purchase one of Fox Fine Jewelry's Strong necklaces and 50% will be donated - necklace sales have raised nearly $70,000 to date!
It all takes place in Fox Fine Jewelry and the recently renovated alley, adjacent to the parking structure, in Downtown Ventura.
The event is free and open to all! A glass of wine or beer from local favorites Four Brix Winery, Labyrinth Winery, or Firestone Beer, and a wristband for scrumptious tasters is $20. Additional drink tickets available. Enjoy tasters from Ventura restaurants:

Most people who lost their home due to the fires are still not in their home - even those who lost their home two years ago in the Thomas fire! Insurance covering temporary living expenses rarely covers such an extended period.
Funds collected will be divided among families still in need at an event in December at Fox Fine Jewelry. To apply, contact Totally Local Love.
Your Strong Necklace is a symbol of community, strength, and support. We encourage you to wear it to the event!
Fox Fine Jewelry gave away over 700 diamond necklaces to Thomas survivors and raised almost $70,000.
