Volunteer Awards Celebration 2025
The 2025 Volunteer Awards Celebration (VAC) brought together hundreds of community members to honor the heart of San Diego—our volunteers. This inspiring event recognized individuals and organizations whose generosity, compassion, and commitment make our region stronger every day. With heartfelt stories, meaningful connections, and moments of gratitude, VAC celebrated the true spirit of philanthropy, the love of humanity in action.
Volunteer Awards Celebration
For more than three decades, we have come together as a community of volunteers, philanthropists, business leaders, and nonprofit professionals to recognize and celebrate the incredible volunteers who are our colleagues, friends, family, and neighbors - the heroes of our community!
Every year, we have honored more than 100 volunteers for their dedication to the nonprofit sector. These volunteers are critical to the success of many of San Diego’s nonprofits and the purpose of this event is to honor their service.
Oftentimes the nonprofits these volunteers support do not have the resources to celebrate these helpers – this event allows all nonprofits in San Diego to celebrate their valued volunteers. We are hosting this celebration on behalf of all nonprofits in San Diego and we need your help to support this important event.
