Black Swan Initiative To Host Unforgettable Gatsby Summer Gala

On Saturday, August 21st at 6:30PM, Black Swan Initiative will be hosting a Gatsby Summer Gala; an exclusive experience like nothing San Diego has ever seen, with 100% of net proceeds to be donated to Corazon de Vida.

Unforgettable experiences for causes that matter

Black Swan Initiative’s mission is to create unforgettable experiences while raising money and awareness for causes that matter. The company, founded by Tal Moore and Brandon Blum, San Diego entrepreneurs who, after years of focusing on business, decided to turn their attention towards philanthropic endeavors to give back to their community, will be donating all proceeds from the gala to the local non-profit; Corazon de Vida.

This special event, set to take place at a private home in La Jolla, will include craft cocktails, Michelin chef-inspired hors d’oeuvres, live music, art, dance, a silent auction and more. Cocktail attire is mandatory – meaning a cocktail dress or gown for women, and a tuxedo or suit with a jacket and tie for men.

Donate and change lives from the heart

Corazon de Vida, established over 26 years ago, is a “for-purpose” organization, providing life-changing support for orphaned and abandoned children in Baja, Mexico. The mission of Corazon de Vida to end child abandonment by breaking the vicious cycle of poverty, is carried out by funding local orphanages, providing quality-of-life improvement services, and investing in children’s futures by funding higher education.

Tickets to the Gatsby Summer Gala are extremely limited, and the event is expected to sell out, so purchase your tickets here. Further details, including location and times will be sent with ticket confirmation.

See you there….and stay healthy, San Diego!
