St. Paul’s Senior Services invites the community to join Summerfest 2025, its signature fundraising celebration, on Saturday, August 16 at 5 p.m. The event will take place at the scenic Humphreys by the Bay, located at 2241 Shelter Island Drive, and promises a vibrant summer soirée filled with casual, comfortable, and colorful attire — think Hawaiian shirts and summer dresses. This exciting evening benefits the renovation and expansion of the PACE Reasner Center, which will enhance care access for low-income, frail seniors throughout San Diego County. As the first nonprofit in San Diego to launch the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in 2008, St. Paul’s has served more than 4,000 seniors, empowering them to live safely and independently at home by providing integrated medical, social, and home care services. The upcoming renovations will allow the program to grow, serving more than 200 additional participants and strengthening a vital safety net for vulnerable older adults. Guests will enjoy live music from Republic of Music as they mingle in the Lucky Lounge, set inside the glass-enclosed Marina Ballroom, open from 5 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. Attendees can also experience a fun photo green screen, explore the silent auction, and participate in RaffleMania for the chance to win outstanding prizes. Delicious bites will be available at various food islands starting at 6:30 p.m. The evening program begins promptly at 6:45 p.m. and will feature welcome remarks from St. Paul’s CEO Michael McHale, a heartfelt testimonial from a current PACE participant, and a live auction followed by a paddle raise, offering guests the opportunity to contribute directly to this impactful cause. Following the program, the dance floor will open at 7:45 p.m. for an evening of celebration under the stars. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the event, with guests also able to pledge their participation online prior to the event. The event is expected to welcome between 350 and 400 guests and self-parking is available on-site. Sponsors will enjoy reserved seating, while all other guests may choose seats at non-reserved tables. Evening festivities will be hosted by CBS 8 News Anchor Marcella Lee. Guests are encouraged to embrace the festive atmosphere, support a meaningful cause, and enjoy an unforgettable night at Summerfest 2025.
