A Beacon of Hope

Chairs
Drs. Lisa Krijger & Ajay Nirula

With its old-world charm, the historic US Grant Hotel in downtown San Diego is our venue of choice. Always unforgettable, the evening begins with an elegant cocktail reception and a unique silent auction. This is followed by a multi-course gourmet dinner, a client story presentation, and an engaging live auction, concluding with live music and dancing. Stylish, vibrant, and always heartfelt, it is truly an event for the ages.

Thank you for your generous support of last year’s 39th Annual Children’s Charity Gala: Tales of Hope. The event raised over $1,320,000 to combat homelessness and rebuild lives.

This year’s Gala theme, Beacon of Hope, will provide an inspiring evening focused on impact and legacy.

Save the Date! Saturday May 10, 2025 at the US Grant Hotel
