SAN DIEGO – Child protection was the winner as big checks were handed out to abuse-protection organizations like Promises2Kids and Voices for Children.
All in a year’s work of fundraising by host and checkwriter St. Germaine Children’s Charity at their annual grant awards and membership luncheon held at the La Jolla Country Club. Protecting our children is a win-win for the city’s future.
Notable attendees included Lisa Rhoads, who was among the many selfless individuals taking part in this endeavor.
