Canvas + Cuisine for a Cause

Experience bold, abstract expressionist works by local artist Stephen Williams while enjoying complimentary wine, beer, and curated bites. Explore the collection, connection with community, and participate in a silent auction, with proceeds directly supporting Adjoin’s mission to serve veterans and individuals with disabilities.

Adjoin is bringing together the community through canvas and cuisine at the stunning Hyangle Art Gallery in downtown San Diego. Join us for a night of visual storytelling, generous giving, and refined flavors, where every bite and brushstroke contributes to a greater cause.

Miles of Hope

Helping those in need one mile at a time: your generosity takes them further.

Travelers Aid’s annual event supports transportation for San Diegans in need. Join us!

Themed cocktails, beer, wine, and a full Mediterranean dinner will be set to a background of summertime fun and live music, with silent auctions and raffles rounding out the event. This year, we’re happy to offer an open bar! We hope you can join us for Miles of Hope, and will help spread the word to your friends, families, and colleagues.

We’ll be raising funds to help provide transportation to low income older adults right here in San Diego. Access to transportation allows our clients to stay independent and make necessary life connections.

We’re also raising funds to support our Journey to Safety program. Survivors of domestic violence need our help to get to medical, legal, and counseling appointments locally, AND to leave the area so that they can live in places of safety and support. We provide many modes of transportation support as well as hotel stays and food during travel. This popular and needed program is being threatened by a lack of future funding, and it’s so important to continue our work in this space!

Please support us on May 7th by purchasing a ticket, making a donation, or sponsoring the event. You can also make a difference by purchasing a ticket for one of our cherished clients or volunteers at a discounted price!
