San Diego Seniors Community Foundation (SDSCF), the first community foundation in the United States dedicated exclusively to seniors, is holding a special screening of the "Saving Claire: The Story of Denying Gravity" on September 22 with the goal to teach older adults to learn how to fall. Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults. Over 14 million, or 1 in 4 older adults report falling every year and result in over 3 million emergency department visits and nearly 1 million hospitalizations annually. The San Diego community including, older adults, seniors, families, service groups, senior communities, and caregivers are invited to come to view this free film (run-time is 39 minutes). The goal is to not only help individuals learn these critical skills for themselves but also to educate attendees to go out into the community and share the fall prevention knowledge to help others. The statistics speak for themselves. In 2021, falls caused 38,000 deaths among those age 65+, and emergency departments reported 3 million visits due to older adult falls.

Our art group's motive is to reflect on the question "Who are you" amidst a rapidly changing world and to express our thoughts through our art. We are hosting our first exhibition at La Jolla Beach. For this nature-based exhibition, we expanded the same question, "who are you" to deeply contemplate our coexistence with the natural environment we inhabit. We asked, "What is your WAY with nature? This first exhibition will take place on September 19, from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. at the beautiful La Jolla Beach in San Diego. Our goal is to communicate our personal connections to nature through this art and to share stories about the natural places we call home. WAY San Diego on Instagram

Luxury, wildlife and philanthropy come together in San Diego this month for the 3rd Annual Cheetah Soirée—an unforgettable night dedicated to saving the world’s fastest land animal. Just two weeks away, the Cheetah Soirée will bring together conservation supporters, luxury travelers, philanthropists and animal lovers for an evening featuring: • Kenyan hors d’oeuvres & African wine • Silent and live auctions • Raffle • A special presentation by Mary Wykstra, founder of Action for Cheetahs in Kenya, on the urgent work being done to protect cheetahs in the wild • The evening’s headline auction item: a luxurious Kenyan safari for two valued at $28,000 Returning as a proud sponsor is Piper and Heath Travel, whose founder Chris Liebenberg has been named to Travel + Leisure’s prestigious A-List of Travel Advisors for the 12th consecutive year.
