Aviva Family And Children's Services To Honor Angela Blatteis, Yifat Oren And Guggenheim Partners At 2012 "The A Gala"

LOS ANGELES, May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Aviva Family and Children's Services, a non-profit, non-sectarian, multi-service agency providing comprehensive therapeutic and educational services to abused and neglected at-risk youth and their families in the greater Los Angeles community, hosts its 2012 "The A Gala," June 9 at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Honorees to be recognized with the Aviva Impact Awards include investment consultant Angela Blatteis and premiere event planner Yifat Oren. Global financial services firm Guggenheim Partners will receive the Corporate Responsibility Award. Chaired by Robin Broidy, the evening will feature fine wine tastings, fabulous hors d'oeuvres, and signature cocktails coupled with a gourmet menu, dancing and entertainment.

The Impact Award honors outstanding members of the Los Angeles community who share Aviva's commitment to helping the at-risk children, youth and families.

Angela Blatteis recently retired from her full time position at The Gores Group, a private equity firm in Los Angeles, but will continue as an Ambassador. Mrs. Blatteis began her 16 years at The Gores Group in 1996 and became a Managing Director in 2004 in the Mergers & Acquisitions group.

Yifat Oren helms the acclaimed Yifat Oren & Associates, one of the country's premiere wedding and event production companies. Yifat and her team create exquisite events, masterfully produced and distinctively designed.

Guggenheim Partners, a privately held global financial services firm with more than $125 billion in assets under management will receive the Corporate Responsibility Award. Guggenheim provides asset management, investment banking and capital markets services, insurance, institutional finance and investment advisory solutions to institutions, governments and agencies, corporations, investment advisors and individuals. In March 2012, Guggenheim Baseball Management acquired the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Since 1915, Aviva Family and Children's Services has provided life changing support to thousands of youth and their families. At the heart of Aviva's efforts is their commitment to helping young people fulfill their potential and lead positive, productive, and rewarding lives. Perhaps this is best seen at Aviva's WASC accredited Junior/Senior High School where adolescent girls have the opportunity to become active learners after years of school failure due to their placements in the foster care system. Aviva is now their last hope and the safe haven where they can begin to heal, trust, and gain the confidence needed to positively direct their lives and futures. www.avivacenter.org.
