See San Diego's finest dress up to make a difference in the lives of sick and underprivileged children in our community. An event where charity meets glamour! At Teddy Ball, we believe that every child deserves a little extra comfort and joy during the holiday season. That's why each guest is required to bring a new stuffed teddy bear, which we collect and distribute to multiple organizations, including Autism Tree Project Foundation, Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, Miracle Babies, Easter Seals SoCal, Promises2Kids, Father Joe's Villages, and local churches and orphanages. Your simple contribution can make a big impact in putting a smile on a child's face and spreading holiday cheer.

As you enter the event, you'll be treated to a paparazzi experience on the red carpet, creating a glamorous and star-studded atmosphere. Once inside, you'll be immersed in a world of festivities that include a live DJs, a freestyle fashion show, dancing, confetti cannons, multiple bars, exotic cars, and a huge pile of teddy bears, affectionately called the Teddy Pit. Capture the memories walking the fashion runway, photos with Santa and Elves, indulge in the candy buffet, and strike a pose at the photo booth. For those looking for an exclusive experience, our VIP Lounge offers bottle service and a chance to mingle with fellow philanthropists and community leaders. And if that's not enough, we also have silent auctions, raffles, magicians, and more to keep the excitement going all night long! By attending Teddy Ball, not only will you have an unforgettable night of fun and glamour, but you'll also be supporting a worthy cause that makes a tangible difference in the lives of children in need.
