A PIERfect Benefit
All aboard our 2nd annual Santa Monica Pier fundraiser
Step back into the 1930s for an evening of live jazz, casino tables, a silent auction, craft cocktails, and indulgent bites — all set inside the Pier's historic Merry Go-Round building, reimagined as the legendary S.S. Rex.
Dust off your best Art Deco glamour and come dressed for the era. Your ticket includes a night of gambling, music, and revelry in service of a cause worth betting on. Funds raised support the Santa Monica Pier Corporation's free community programming as a 501(c)3 nonprofit.
Grab your gambling tickets now at 50% off and walk in ready to win. Purchase day-of and you'll pay full price.

Meet Our Host: Olivia Hill
Olivia Hill has been making audiences laugh for over a decade. Named one of the New York Comedy Festival’s “Comics to Watch”, she brings her sharp wit and playful energy to stages across the country. Here in Los Angeles, you can catch her at The Hollywood Improv, The Westside Comedy Theatre, and The Crow, when she’s not on the road.
A true Southern California native, Olivia has long been inspired by the ocean and the magic of the Santa Monica Pier. Between her stand-up, emcee work, and even a few surprise commercial appearances, Olivia shines wherever there’s a microphone. She’s honored to host A PIERfect Benefit and help celebrate the Pier she grew up loving.
