NCPC’s 2023 Volunteer Awards Celebration Highlight Video

Celebrating Volunteer Heroes of San Diego in a New Format

Join us for a fun celebration of our region’s amazing volunteers!  The Board of Directors of NCPC invites you to the California Center for the Arts Escondido on November 3 from 2:00 - 6:00 pm for a Happy Hour styled event to honor all the Volunteers of the Year and recognize their outstanding contributions to our community! This is a great opportunity to connect with other volunteers, colleagues, friends, and family while enjoying live music along with heavy hors d'oeuvres and multiple beverage options, both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. There will be plenty of cocktail-height tables for mingling, as well as lower/standard-height tables and chairs for those who require seating. If you or any of your guests need a seat secured, please let us know in the special accommodations section of your ticket purchase. View this year's Volunteer Awards Celebration FAQs.
