Dia del Sol Helps People with Disabilities
The 55th annual Dia del Sol was amazing from start to finish, and we are so grateful to every single person who made it possible—many of whom you’ll never see, who ask for zero credit, and are so essential to elements big and small.
There are those who volunteer, donate, and offer their talents year after year without batting an eyelash, and those who have only just discovered us and eagerly jumped on board. And of course, every single person who made a donation, bought a seat, won an auction item, or raised a paddle are the reason why we can do what we do, which is raise as much money as possible to support the work of UCP San Diego and ultimately, our neighbors living with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.
Livin' To The Maxx 80's Party Rocks On
The Beach and Country Guild and UCP San Diego teamed up to present our Livin’ to the Maxx 80’s Party on May 7th at the Belly Up.
Partygoers enjoyed righteous grub and libations while rocking out to 80’s hits from Betamaxx. Live auction items included destination vacations, staycations, as well as sports and music memorabilia. Raffle prizes included sports tickets, a jewelry set by Sette Divini, Tenneli Classic Wedge Sneakers, and a wine class for 20 from Total Wine and More. Jose Zuniga with The Land Stewards won our costume contest for the best 80’s outfit!
It was a bodacious night to remember and raised over $80,000 for UCP’s programs and services for people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities.
