The Arc of San Diego’s annual gala, The Jewels of San Diego, is back this spring. The Carrousel du Louvre Fashion Runway Extravaganza produced by Leonard Simpson will raise much-needed funds for The Arc of San Diego while honoring local San Diegans for their leadership and philanthropic contributions. The show will take place on Saturday, April 9, at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina. Doors will open at 10am with a boutique vendor show featuring jewelry, clothing, and fashion accessories, followed by a luncheon and runway show. Proceeds will help The Arc of San Diego continue providing essential life services such as day training, employment, and residential living services to 2,500 local San Diegans with disabilities. Honorary Jewels chairs include Phyllis and John Parrish, Marilyn and Kim Fletcher, Lee and Frank Goldberg, Jeanne Jones and Don Breitenberg, Joye Blount and Jessie J. Knight, Jr., Sandy Redman and Jeff Mueller, and Sally B. and John M. Thornton. To make reservations or for more information, please contact Jennifer Bates Navarra or go online.
