Après Ski by the Sea Auction & Paddle Raise

San Diegans who appreciate ski culture are invited to put their après-ski skills to the test at the Junior League of San Diego’s Après Ski by the Sea Auction & Paddle Raise.
Belmont Park’s Coaster Room in Mission Beach will be transformed into a winter wonderland for the event, set to begin at 7:30pm. Attendees 21 and older are encouraged to dress in their most stylish puffer vests, earmuffs, and snow bibs for an evening of light bites, cocktails by the fire pit under the stars, and a live auction and paddle raise featuring exclusive Southern California experiences. All proceeds will benefit JLSD’s mission to empower women, promote voluntarism, and address pressing community needs, with a focus on combating food insecurity.
“We’re bringing ski culture to the beachside of beautiful San Diego,” saya Ilo Neukam, president of the Junior League of San Diego. “JLSD’s events are known for being a great time for a great cause, and what better way to mingle with like-minded members of our community than by pretending we’re in the stunning snow basins of Colorado or Switzerland?” For over 90 years, the JLSD has been an organization of women dedicated to advancing women’s leadership and creating meaningful community impact through volunteer action, collaboration, and training. Its mission is exclusively educational and charitable, reaching out to women of all races, religions, and national origins who demonstrate an interest in and commitment to voluntarism. For its current focus, JLSD has chosen food insecurity, a pressing issue affecting many in the San Diego community. With 1 in 4 San Diegans facing nutrition insecurity, as reported by the San Diego Hunger Coalition, JLSD is committed to addressing this challenge through advocacy, partnerships, and direct service programs. Tickets to the Après Ski by the Sea Auction & Paddle Raise are $60 for general admission and $200 for VIP tickets, sold as a pair.
