Join Us for an Evening That Makes a Difference
Celebrate, connect, and help ensure San Diego's firefighters and lifeguards
are always Ready to Respond.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Enjoy handcrafted cocktails, a chef-inspired coastal dinner, and sweeping waterfront views as the sun sets over the bay. Throughout the evening, you'll hear powerful stories of courage, resilience, and service while learning how the San Diego Fire-Rescue Foundation helps provide the critical resources our first responders need when every second counts.
The evening will also feature exciting live and silent auctions, opportunities to connect with community leaders and first responders, and a closer look at the life-saving programs, equipment, and initiatives your support makes possible.
Most importantly, your generosity will help fund the health, safety, training, equipment, and community preparedness programs that strengthen San Diego's firefighters and lifeguards—and help keep our entire community safe.
