What an incredible night! On August 29, we brought our community together for A Night United: Illuminating the Way—an unforgettable evening of celebration, connection, and generosity in support of a more financially secure future for every San Diegan.
Set at Eve, overlooking the stunning San Diego Bay, the second annual gala brought together community leaders, business partners, philanthropists, and supporters for an evening of dinner, live music, auctions, and heartfelt celebration. Together, we raised $230,000 to advance our mission of shaping a region where financial security is within reach for every San Diegan today and for generations to come.
A Night United was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when our community comes together. Thank you to everyone who sponsored, donated, bid, volunteered, and supported.
We are deeply grateful to Vivian Quiñones Guapo, a Lincoln High School student in our STEAM-to-Careers career preparation program, and Jovany Guerrero, a participant in our SparkPoint financial coaching program, for courageously sharing their inspiring stories and reminding us of the transformative power of opportunity.
