Dani de Jesus, a fifth-year political science and psychology student and current Student Alumni Association president came up with the idea of the festival three years ago. It is run through the Bruin Belles' Fine Arts Office, which also sponsors, among other things, volunteer ushering at performances and reading to children. The group dedicates its time toward community and university service and to the promotion of women's leadership. Gordon said that one of the reasons she got involved with Bruin Belles was that it was affiliated with a variety of different groups, as opposed to only one form of community service. This year, the Belles invited the women and children from the Aviva Center, a shelter for abused women and children, to the festival.
