The Claremont/West- End Auxiliary 2014 annual home tour will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, April 26-27, to raise money for Children’s Fund, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping at-risk children.

“The homes that are featured this year vary from a 7,800-square-foot home set in the property’s forest of mature palms to a completely remodeled 1948 bungalow,” says Kerry Castel De Oro, member of the Claremont/ West-End Auxiliary. “And, there is a renovated California ranch that provides a background for the homeowner’s extensive art collection.

“The events that Claremont/West-End Auxiliary host are organized to help children who are in great need,” she said. “We care so much for these children, and we want to help make a difference in their lives.”
