Climate Advocacy Group – Dayenu Circle

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.

Join us for Bloom Together, an event celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD) with Women’s Empowerment International (WE). This year’s IWD theme, #GiveToGain, reflects the heart of our work: when we give, women around the world gain the skills, microloans and other financial tools, and opportunities they need to lift themselves out of poverty and build lasting economic independence.

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!

Season of Sharing 2025 – Benefiting Clients of the San Diego Regional Center

A Celebration with Purpose: Season of Sharing at Stone Brewing

Season of Sharing returns on November 16th at Stone Brewing, Liberty Station, for a family-friendly afternoon where holiday fun meets giving back. Guests will enjoy holiday crafts, games, delicious bites, refreshing drinks, and quality time with loved ones—all while supporting San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) families who need a little extra support this holiday season.

Tickets include gourmet appetizers, signature beverages, and the chance to connect with others who share a commitment to making the holidays brighter. Proceeds provide holiday gift cards that bring dignity, joy, and togetherness to SDRC families.

Sponsorships: Extending Community Impact

Sponsorship opportunities are at the heart of Season of Sharing’s success. By partnering with the Foundation for Developmental Disabilities (FDD), businesses and organizations do more than provide holiday relief—they stand alongside the intellectual and developmental disability (I/DD) community in San Diego and Imperial Counties.

Your support extends far beyond a single season. Sponsorship is an investment in inclusion, compassion, and connection—values that ripple throughout the community and create lasting change. Together, we ensure San Diego Regional Center families experience the joy, dignity, and hope of the holidays, while strengthening a more inclusive community for years to come.

Join Us in Spreading Holiday Cheer

The Foundation for Developmental Disabilities invites community members, businesses, and organizations to be part of Season of Sharing—a program dedicated to ensuring no family is left behind during the holidays. Every donation, ticket purchase, and sponsorship directly supports SDRC families facing financial hardship.

By supporting Season of Sharing, you affirm the dignity of individuals with I/DDs and their families. Together, we can ensure the true spirit of the season—family, sharing, and joy—touches every home.
