In the San Diego area alone, 480,000 people face the threat of hunger daily, and 181,000 are children under
the age of 12

We hope to raise $500,000 to fight the hunger issue in San Diego by hosting an evening in celebration of food.

A night of colorful culture and cuisine, the black-tie gala, which will benefit San Diego Food Bank, is guaranteed to delight discerning and culturally-diverse palates with a selection of over 25 international tasting stations complete with rich décor and vibrant costumes representing each country and region.
