Every day, the Center witnesses remarkable success stories of children and families who rise up from their pain, sorrow and shame to then feeling empowered, confident and hopeful of a more fulfilling future. Helping families rise up who once saw their child being bullied because of their learning difficulties, to families who once felt lost in supporting their adopted child cope from their trauma-filled childhood, and to helping families who once struggled with not knowing how to best respond to their child’s behavior and needs. It is only fitting that the Center’s largest fundraiser is themed, Rise Up, in celebration of its 131st anniversary year of serving the most vulnerable youth. Equally important, the event will raise funds to help families in our community who are in need of services so that they too can rise up. Andra Day Co-chairs, Joyce Glazer, Vince Heald and Clinton Walters, invite you to the 131st Anniversary Celebration at Humphreys by the Bay that will include a special performance by Grammy nominated artist, Andra Day. Andra, a native San Diegan, will grace guests with her beautiful voice and inspiring songs under the moonlit sky on Saturday, June 9, 2018. Please join in helping families in our community rise up.
