SPRITES Newsletter: GALA 2025 Edition

Spiritual, Philanthropic, Recreational, Inspirational, Training-Centered, Educational, Social

SPRITES in the Spotlight: An Iconic Night was held on Saturday March 22, 2025 at the Legacy Resort located at 875 Hotel Circle South, San Diego, CA 92108.

Each year, SPRITES set aside one evening to host a Gala that celebrates our accomplishments, each other, the senior class, and most importantly the organizations supported by SPRITES. The proceeds from the fundraiser are distributed to these philanthropies and serve as a much-needed element of our support.

The evening consisted of a delicious dinner, a silent auction, a live auction, raffles and a fun, energetic dance show performed by all of the SPRITES daughters. The evening was enjoyed by all and we were honored to have members of our philanthropies in attendance.

We deeply thank our local philanthropies for everything they do for our community!
