Random Acts of Kindness to Benefit It's All About the Kids and Challenged Athletes Foundation



Hello Friends,

Here is a quick follow up on the success of our first Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) party May 7th here in La Jolla California!

The event was held at the newly redesigned “The Steak House at Azul La Jolla.” This RAK event benefitted the It’s All About Kids Foundation and the Challenged Athletes Foundation.

We had world renowned photographer Joel Zwink and framing artist Mark Mecalis donate their expertise toward some amazing photos that were a part of the silent auction. We also had a variety of other auction items from La Jolla Spa MD, The San Diego Padres, San Diego Prestige, Mind Body Partnerships, David Perez, Hacienda De Las Rosas Winery, Dr. Patrick Rardin, lunch with local celebrities such as Diane Jacob, Tom Blair, plus many other fun items… Thank you Southern Wine & Spirits and Hope Wine for your wine donations that were enjoying at the party!


It was a beautiful warm La Jolla evening, with guests enjoying music, friends, wine and gourmet appetizers which were served throughout the evening. Guests also took advantage of the breathtaking, panoramic ocean views that the restaurant’s observation patio offered. With over 130 people in attendance and $3,000 raised, this party was a success! We had several representatives from CAF who attended, such as Oz Sanchez, a Paralympic Gold medalist in Beijing who is noted at the fastest man in the world on a hand cycle. David Lee, a three time QMDC hand cyclist, was there as well.

We would like to thank all who donated and attended this special event. A very special thank you goes out to Molly Cooper and Barbie Daitch, who helped make this a very special fundraiser.

I hope you enjoyed yourself and I look forward to seeing you at my next “Partying with a Purpose”!!!

Our next event will be in the later part of September..

Talk with you soon,
Carlos
