This unforgettable evening promises music, delicious food, fun, and the opportunity to make a real difference in our community. Guests will enjoy live music by DJ Noel with a saxophone performance, savor hors d'oeuvres at the cocktail reception, and indulge in a gourmet dinner. The evening includes a silent auction and a fundraising program with impact awards, a live auction, and a paddle raise, all supporting the Second Chance Program and the local community. Each year, hundreds of justice-involved men, women, and youth come to Second Chance seeking positive pathways to meaningful change. This is done through education, encouragement, specialized training, and supportive services which address issues such as behavioral health, housing, transportation, and substance abuse. This year, we celebrate the success of Second Chance’s programs and participants, and the beautiful new fence around the Second Chance Youth Garden, featuring stunning panels designed and painted by our cohorts. These panels pay homage to the rich heritages of the Kumeyaay nation, Asian American, African American, and Hispanic/Latino cultures that have shaped Southeastern San Diego. Pricing begins at $250 for an individual ticket and includes free parking, a cocktail reception with passed hors d'oeuvres, participation in the silent and live auctions, the awards program, and a gourmet dinner. Most importantly, every dollar raised supports the impactful programs of Second Chance. The Legacy of Impact Gala is proudly presented by the Jacobs Family Fund of the Jewish Community Foundation, with support from Sycuan, US Bank, Sharp Health Care, and other valuable philanthropic supporters.
