2nd Annual Cocktails for a Cause will be a night to remember
Hosted at Joan Waitt’s bluff-top estate with breathtaking views of the La Jolla Shore, the night promises to be one to remember as guests come together to support an incredible cause and give back to the local underserved and at-risk youth. The evening under the stars will include craft cocktails, delectable bites, live entertainment, a live and silent auction, and more special surprises.
“After raising $164,000 last year during the inaugural Cocktails for a Cause, we selected Bell Middle School as our sponsored school with a commitment to provide resources and funding for a minimum of two years,” said Omid Sabet, President and Founder of the Positive Movement Foundation.
“As we look forward to the upcoming calendar year, our goal is to expand the on-campus programs for the kids at Bell Middle to include unique after-school programs, clubs, and mentoring. With our 2nd Annual Cocktails for a Cause, we are looking to initiate a partnership and sponsorship of a second middle school in San Diego, where we can begin with some of the year one programs we have implemented at Bell Middle School.”.
