Pageant Tickets Will Send a Boy to Camp

The non-profit Laguna Beach organization Tony’s Treehouse is working to raise funds to send an 8-year-old boy to summer camp by selling eight donated tickets to the Pageant of the Masters.

Tony’s Treehouse was founded in memory of Tony Martinez by his mother, Becky Martinez, of Laguna Beach, and is dedicated to helping families in need.

R.J., 8, and his family were aided by the charity four years ago after the family’s youngest member died. Tony’s Treehouse is hoping to help again by sending RJ to summer camp at Harbor Cities Boys & Girls Club.

The charity seeks a donor to buy the tickets for $400. They are for the July 30 show at 8:30 p.m. at the Irvine Bowl in Laguna. Seats are together in the upper Directors Tier, Side BB 64 – 78.
