The evening's festivities will include amazing bites prepared by Continental Catering, a hosted premium bar, art and live auctions, and a video DJ with a 1970s music festival experience. Honorary chairs are Jackie Helm and Leah Higgins. The National CHEERS Foundation was established in 2012 by a group of caring professionals and community leaders in La Jolla. Through its annual gala and "joie de vivre" grant program, the foundation raises funds to support medical research and health institutions, health advocacy groups, and outreach programs, and has developed a resource and educational program that offers women the ability to empower themselves. nationalcheersfoundation.org Champions of Scouting Celebration SEPTEMBER 24 | USS MIDWAY The San Diego-Imperial Council, Boy Scouts of America (SDIC) will pay tribute to civic leader Jerry Sanders at its annual Champions of Scouting Celebration.
