The San Diego Center for Children’s (SDCC) Annual Dinner takes place May 20 at the The US Grant. Founded in 1887, SDCC helps children thrive whose abuse, trauma, or mental illness has kept them from success at home, school, or in their community. The center provides an array of respected educational and therapeutic programs, as well as art, music, and recreational therapy for children all around the county. The Annual Dinner is a fun and engaging event featuring wonderful music. This year Doreen Schonbrun and Elizabeth Oliver are event co-chairs. (858/569-2148, www.centerforchildren.org)   JANE SHIOMI
