Helen Woodward Animal Center Spring Fling Gala

The 37th annual Helen Woodward Animal Center Spring Fling Gala, presented by Whittier Trust, will bring together seafaring animal lovers for an evening of dancing, dining, fine wine, and donating to help make waves in the big ocean of animal welfare.

The event, headed by gala chairs Jamie Carr and Jan Krystkowiak, invites guests to embark on a classy “cruise,” serenaded by local San Diego yacht rock group Band Overboard. Committee restaurant chair Ann Dizney has curated an impressive restaurant lineup including fine-dining favorites Beeside Balcony, Bluewater Boathouse, Poseidon on the Beach, The Cottage Encinitas, The Fish Market, and many more. Wine for the event is generously provided by Rescue Dog Wines. The evening’s emcees will be KUSI’s Mark Mathis and ABC 10’s Megan Parry.
