A recent "Mariachis and Margaritas" fundraising event organized by Lamorinda Gives Back, also known as LAMA, was fun for all but the real winner was Las Trampas, for whom they raised over $5,000.

The sold-out event was held at The Coffee Shop in Lafayette and featured mariachi band, Reyna y su Trio, catering by Maria Maria and cocktails by Lost Republic and Dulce Vida.

LAMA is a local charitable organization whose mission statement is to engage Lamorinda residents to make a positive impact in the community through funding, volunteerism and advocacy.

Las Trampas in Lafayette supports adults with developmental disabilities. LAMA President Brian Britton commented, "Las Trampas is a remarkable organization with great leadership who make real differences for Lamorinda residents on a daily basis."

Executive Director of Las Trampas, Daniel L. Hogue, was appreciative and enthused about their partnership with LAMA. "Las Trampas is sincerely thankful for the efforts of LAMA. Mariachis and Margaritas was a fantastic event and certainly a reflection of the energy and commitment the organization has for championing our community."

No LAMA event would be complete without "Hot Notes," its llama and mascot in attendance and this evening was no exception as he duly put in an appearance to add to the success of the occasion.
