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.

Community Resource Center (CRC) invites you to Jingle & Mingle, an evening of holiday cheer, community connection and heartfelt giving.

Your support funds CRC’s comprehensive wraparound services – providing help and healing all year long – as well as their Holiday Baskets program.

Guests will enjoy festive holiday fare, live and silent auctions, raffles, entertainment by local musician Rob Robinson and joyful mingling with friends old and new.
