NORA LIGHTING CELEBRATES WITH CHILDREN’S CHARITY
Vista Del Mar, one of southern California’s oldest and most highly regarded children’s community service organizations, was the recipient of a major donation given by Nora Lighting on behalf of the company’s owners, customers, independent reps, and staff.
The donation was presented to Linda Karchem, director of Vista Del Mar Volunteer Programs, at a holiday dinner hosted by Fred and Jilla Farzan, owners/partners at Nora Lighting.
“The Nora team was extremely pleased to be able to assist Vista Del Mar with this holiday gift,” said Jilla Farzan. “The organization’s activities span a wide spectrum of services for families with children who have significant emotional, social, learning, and developmental disabilities.”
“We are truly blessed to be in a position to assist Vista Del Mar,” added Fred Farzan, president, Nora Lighting. “Our hard-working staff, reps, and customers have made this gift possible because of their care and support.”

Based in West Los Angeles and serving the greater Los Angeles area, the organization offers residential care, autism programs, adoption services, and oversees an accredited school for children with learning and emotional disabilities, including both a preschool and K-12 classrooms.
“Your generosity and support will help us achieve our goal of providing the highest quality of services to the thousands of children and families we reach each year,” said Karchem. “We are incredibly excited to receive your generous gift in honor of your company and customers.”
