THE EVENT:
Bread & Roses is the Fund for Santa Barbara's largest annual celebration. It is a time for community activists, donors, volunteers, elected leaders, and all supporters of progressive social change to gather, celebrate our work together and raise money for the Fund's grant-making and technical assistance programs. This year's event will once again feature a gourmet buffet-style dinner from our region's finest restaurants, wines from local vintners and both a live & silent auction...
TICKETS:
This year’s event IS SOLD OUT. Thank you to all who sponsored, donated and purchased tickets!

THE LOCATION - HOW TO GET TO QAD HEADQUARTERS:
Bread & Roses 2010 will be at QAD Headquarters at the top of Ortega Hill in Summerland (same site as last year) - a beautiful place overlooking the Santa Barbara Channel...
The address is 100 Innovation Place. We recommend the following route from Santa Barbara/Goleta and other points north:
- Take 101 to the Sheffield exit in Montecito (left side of freeway if you are coming from the North)
- Exit Sheffield Drive - you will turn toward the mountains at the bottom of the ramp (there is no other way)
- You will run into a "T" intersection with North Jameson Lane/Sheffield Drive
- Turn right and go a short distance to the Ortega Hill Road intersection
- Turn Right up Ortega Hill Road
- At the top of the hill there is a 3-way stop
- Bend right and begin to descend the other side of the hill toward Summerland
- You will see a low stone wall on the right - this is the QAD entrance
- Turn right into QAD. The road/driveway is marked "Innovation Place"
- YOU ARE THERE!

TRANSPORTATION & PARKING (Carpool or take our shuttle!)
At last year’s event we filled the parking lot and then some. So, in order to make sure there is room for everyone (and in support of our environmental principles), we ask you to consider carpooling or riding our shuttle. The shuttle is being provided by Easy Lift Transportation from downtown Santa Barbara. The shuttle will leave from parking lot # 5 (on Chapala between Anapamu & Victoria, by the Fund office) at the following times:
Leave Downtown @ 3:30 p.m.
Leave Downtown @ 4:30 p.m.
And on the way home:
Leave QAD @ 7:30 p.m.
Leave QAD @ 8:00 p.m.
We ask that you call us to “reserve” a spot on the shuttle so that we may let Easy Lift know how many to expect.

WHAT (NOT) TO WEAR
No we are not the fashion police. BUT... QAD offers a spectacular view of the Santa Barbara Channel... and is also on top of a cool coastal bluff. Please be prepared for cooler weather in the evening, as most of the seating is outdoors. The majority of the seating is also on a large grassy lawn, so beware of (or be very skilled with) spike heels. As for dressing up or dressing down, please feel free to be yourself! There will be everything from suits and ties to jeans. Be comfortable, be warm, be ready to celebrate!
