Vote for your favorite band and support a great cause! Between 4 and 7 pm, five bands are battling for a $2,500 grand prize, and every vote cast is a split contribution to their chosen charity and Interfaith Community Services. Your support helps these musicians give back to the communities they serve. Choose your winner and make your vote count!

Climate Advocacy Group – Dayenu Circle

Join Coastal Roots Farm for their new Dayenu Circle, a monthly advocacy group rooted in Jewish values and hope-filled climate action.

Together with Dayenu Circles across the US, we are fighting to pass an important and winnable CA initiative: the CA Climate Superfund Bill (SB 684/AB 1243), or “Make Polluters Pay.” The Polluters Pay Superfund Bill will make the Big Oil and Gas companies that have made trillions in profits in California pay their fair share when climate emergencies strike our state.

Enjoy an inspiring time of community and creativity featuring postcard and keychain-making stations, a flower bar, an inspiring speaker, an opportunity drawing with curated prizes, and a special photo booth experience. Tickets include one drink ticket, light bites and desserts, and access to all activities. VIP tickets include a special WE tote bag with gifts, an extra drink ticket, and additional opportunity drawing entries. Bring a Friend discount: Buy a ticket for your friend and get $5 off each ticket!

Celebrate while supporting women near and far! Event proceeds benefit WE grants for economic empowerment programs for women facing poverty in San Diego County and around the world. This year, we are supporting programs with 11 high-impact partners in San Diego County, Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Nepal, and Uganda. Learn more at the event!
