The organization plans to expand its services and holds its biggest fundraiser on Friday, May 30 to support these efforts. KSBY-TV

Upcoming events include a country music show at the Santa Barbara County Fair on July 11, a summer library reading program starting June 7, and Cal Poly Baseball will play in the NCAA regionals tomorrow.
