The Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos – Adopt-a-Family

Join us in spreading holiday cheer at the Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos! Each year, we partner with generous donors, businesses, and community partners who sponsor local families. By adopting a family, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference by providing gifts, essentials, and a memorable holiday celebration for over 75 families.

Supporters can also participate by volunteering at our gift-wrapping event on Friday, December 13. BGCSM staff and volunteers wrap hundreds of gifts to distribute to families on Saturday, December 14. Together, we can create lasting memories and bring smiles to the faces of local children and families. Your generosity and support are what make this event truly special!

Labrador Rescuers 20th Annual Lab Amore Gala Fundraiser

Labrador Rescuers is an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to Labs and Lab Mixes, having rescued over 5,800 dogs and counting. We are celebrating our 20th year saving dogs and would love for you to join us for our major fundraiser “2 Decades of Dedication”. Upon arrival, guests will be greeted by Labassador dogs, have their photo taken and be welcomed with a champagne toast. Guests will then be invited to participate in bidding on the silent auction baskets, as well as purchasing opportunity drawing tickets and beads for the Head or Tails game. All while enjoying appetizers and cocktails from the open bar and taking in the amazing ocean views and sunset.

After the Silent Auction and Opportunity Drawings close, guests will move into the Ballroom to enjoy a plated three course meal and the Rainbow Bridge video presentation. Following will be the Live Auction featuring a performance by artist/speed painter Clarione, the Fund-A-Need Presentation, Heads or Tails Game and Opportunity Drawings.

Your contributions and support of this event are vital to our mission to help save more dogs in need for years to come. 100% of the proceeds from this fundraiser will go to helping the dogs! Labrador Rescuers is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and all donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Lucky Duck Foundation Showcase Soirée

The Lucky Duck Foundation’s Showcase Soirée is an entertainment and variety show meant to be fun, casual, inspiring, and unlike any other fundraising event. It will feature live music, professional magician, a comedy routine, and more, and will be the event’s second year at The Sound in Del Mar.

It also featured an LDF-themed game show hosted by Jacobsen; a comedy show by actor and comedian Steve Hytner, best known for his role as Kenny Bania on Seinfeld; a magic show by Derek Ostovani; a musical performance by the Dizzy Biz Band; and an appearance by former NFL and Chargers coach Norv Turner, along with dinner, a live auction, paddle raise, and more.
