The annual Josephson-Spindler Gala Dinner & Silent Auction aims to expand awareness about food insecurity and its growing impact on our community. This year, the gala is on April 8, 2023, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the San Diego Natural History Museum in the historic Balboa Park. Each year this memorable event has garnered national recognition from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. All proceeds from this year's event will support Brightside Produce, Kids Eat Right, and the Student Nutrition Organization at San Diego State University (SDSU). Each ticket to the gala comes with a full dinner buffet with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options as well as 2 drink tickets. CEU's will be available for this event! For over 40 years, the Student Nutrition Organization (SNO) has served our community through volunteering, advocacy, and philanthropy. We strive for our members to develop strong professional and community relationships, and this gala is how we give back to our community locally and nationally. As the prevalence of food insecurity increases, SNO wants to bring attention to the Kids Eat Right campaign. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics developed this national campaign to educate families, communities, and policymakers about the importance of quality nutrition to promote optimal health for kids and their families. Additionally, we want to shine a light on a local non-profit, Brightside Produce, which is a nonprofit "committed to increasing access to healthy food options in underserved communities through produce deliveries, while reducing food waste and strengthening the local food system in San Diego County.” Brightside produce also offers the students of SDSU the opportunities to volunteer and give back to our local community, helping to fight food insecurity. Brightside helps the around 500,000 people in San Diego County are food insecure, with almost 165,000 of those being children and around 7,000 being students at San Diego State University. Join us for a night under the stars with keynote speaker Dr. Guadalupe Xochitl Ayala, and additional speakers, co-founder of Brightside Produce, Dr. Iana A. Castro, and Sam Pantazopoulos, co-founder of Vizer. If you are unable to attend this year’s gala, but would still like to donate and help us reach our goal, we will happily take any donations. Please venmo all donations to SNO_Paige_Sullivan. Thank you! Any businesses interested in purchasing a table (seats ten people) should email sdsu.sno.galacoordinator@gmail.com.
