Small Waves, Big Changes
Travelers Aid’s annual event supports transportation for San Diegans in need. Join us!
Themed cocktails, beer, wine, and a full Mediterranean spread will be set to a background of summertime fun and live music, with silent auctions and raffles rounding out the event. Each ticket comes with two drink tickets, and a portion of the proceeds from additional sales will be donated back to the organization. We hope you can join us for Small Waves, Big Changes, 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 need our help 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 June 25th 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!
