San Diego Rescue Mission to Hold the Art of Gratitude to Benefit New Children’s Center

San Diego Rescue Mission will be hosting The Art of Gratitude, a benefit fundraiser taking place on Tuesday, June 24, 2014 from 6:00-8:30pm at the David Alan Collection in Solana Beach. Founded in 1955, San Diego Rescue Mission is a faith-based organization that offers safe-haven as well as restorative care and rehabilitation services to the homeless, addicted, abused, and poor in our community.
The evening will include amazing views of the stunning David Alan Collection while guests can enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, live music, raffles and a silent auction. 
The Art of Gratitude proceeds will benefit the completion of the New Children’s Center at San Diego Rescue Mission. The Children’s Center will provide a nurturing and safe environment for young children during the day while moms seek jobs, education and receive therapy.
Please help us break the cycle of homelessness. To purchase tickets, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-art-of-gratitude-tickets-11772197961
