17TH ANNUAL CRYSTAL BALL 

Back to the Groovy ’60s.


Pasadena, CA – The 17th Annual Crystal Ball, “Groovy ’60s” was 
held on May 6 at The Noor in Pasadena. The exciting evening was 
co-chaired by Ellen Radle P’17 and Suzy Rettig P’19.

 Guests, many dressed as 1960s flower children, hippies and cast 
members right out of the TV show Mad Men, enjoyed an evening 
of dining and dancing proceeded by silent and live auctions. Guests 
felt the rush of excitement as they followed their bids on their 
smartphones using the custom Crystal Ball Bid Pal app that cataloged 
and showcased hundreds of items during the Silent Auction. 

 Live Auction items included a 10-day vacation to Hawai’i, Staples 
Center luxury suite watching your favorite team, VIP seats at a taping 
of the Big bang Theory, a six-night stay in Catalina, and a gourmet 
dinner with President, Dr. Richard Gray and La Salle’s new Principal, 
Mrs. Courtney Kassakhian.

 Over 300 guests came to enjoy the Crystal Ball and to congratulate 
the 2016 Lasallian of the Year honoree: Brother Christopher Brady, 
FSC who is retiring as Principal.

 Following dinner and the auction, music from the ’60s began 
and the guests were surprised by a “flash mob” dance to the tune of 
“Gimme Some Lovin’” performed by the Crystal Ball Committee.

 The Crystal Ball is La Salle’s largest fundraiser of the year allowing 
everyone an opportunity to come together and support the programs 
and activities that La Salle provides to its students.
