San Diego, May 10, 2023 - The San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts (SDSCPA) invites the public to attend its Sapphire Anniversary Benefit on June 17 at Humphrey's by the Bay to celebrate 45 years of excellence in arts education. The semi-formal event includes a three-course meal, drinks, live musical performances by the students of SDSCPA, dancing, and a silent and live auction. Tickets are available for purchase on the Friends of SCPA (FOSCPA) website at $180 per person, $1,800 for tables seating ten in prime locations, and $2,800 for VIP corporate sponsorship tables.
Proceeds from the benefit will directly support continued arts education at SDSCPA.
This year's event promises to be a memorable and inspiring evening, showcasing the incredible talent of SDSCPA students, and paying tribute to two of SDSCPA's most beloved former faculty members, Judi Quiett and Gail McKinney, who have been instrumental in shaping the school's legacy of excellence in arts education. This event is an opportunity to come together to support the next generation of artists and creative thinkers and to celebrate the impact that SDSCPA has had on the lives of students and the broader community.
As California’s only tuition-free, audition-only performing arts school, SDSCPA is unique in its commitment to providing a transformative arts education to students from all over San Diego County. Over 70% of SDSCPA students come from lower-income households, and the school serves over 80+ zip codes in southern California.

The school is committed to nurturing excellence in arts and academics through a rigorous dual curriculum, and to providing a culturally relevant and diverse learning environment that celebrates the diversity of its students.
