Homeless Mothers Treated Like Queens In SF

I wish I had found this ear­li­er. It would have made a nice Sunday morn­ing feel-good read this Mother’s Day. I applaud Harry Denton for this unique and gen­er­ous 10 year tradition.

From a press release by Harry Denton’s Starlight Room.

San Francisco – Sunday, May 9 (Business Wire)
WHAT: 53 home­less moth­ers liv­ing at Hamilton Family Center will be treat­ed to a unique day of pam­per­ing to include a pri­vate Mother’s Day Brunch com­plete with live enter­tain­ment and served by Harry Denton him­self at his famous name­sake top-floor club – Harry Denton’s Starlight Room. This is a tra­di­tion start­ed 10 years ago by Harry Denton.

In addi­tion, the home­less moth­ers will have their hair styled and make up applied in the morn­ing before brunch (pro­vid­ed by Koko Represents) and ride in motor­ized cable cars (pro­vid­ed by Bauer’s Limousine) to Harry Denton’s Starlight Room.
