The 8th annual Josephson-Spindler Gala Dinner & Silent Auction aims to expand awareness about childhood obesity and its growing impact on our community. This year, the gala is on March 12, 2022, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego - La Jolla. 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 Heaven's Windows, Kids Eat Right, and the Student Nutrition Organization at San Diego State University. 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 childhood obesity 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 light on a local non-profit, Heaven's Windows, that provides exceptional nourishment to kids in need in San Diego County. They work to elevate the current living conditions of poverty-stricken residents and assist in establishing a stable and productive living environment. Heaven's Windows supports building strong families as an investment in the future through their food assistance and child nutrition programs. Join us for a night under the stars with speakers Dr. Connie Weaver and Gloria Davis Browning MEd, RDN. Continuing education units are available for this event (1 CEU).
