Blue Ribbon Gala 2012

We are so pleased to announce that plans are well underway for Home Start’s 2012 “Blue Ribbon Gala” celebrating 40 years of service to the San Diego community and in honor of National Child Abuse Prevention Month.  This event will raise funds for Home Start’s programs which provide critical assistance to San Diego County’s most vulnerable children and families.  This year’s event will be held at the beautiful Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa on Saturday, April 28, 2012 (6pm - 11pm). This is a fun, festive and heartwarming dinner with live music and special presentations.

We sincerely hope that you’ll consider supporting this much needed effort by participating as one of our Presenting, Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze Sponsors.  Enclosed please find our Sponsorship Opportunities Package as well as a Program Advertising Rate Sheet and last year’s program for your review.  We are also accepting goods and services for our live auction.
