The 37th annual Helen Woodward Animal Center Spring Fling Gala is presented by Whittier Tru

The 37th annual Helen Woodward Animal Center Spring Fling Gala, presented by Whittier Trust, brought 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, invited guests to embark on a classy “cruise,” serenaded by local San Diego yacht rock group Band Overboard. Committee restaurant chair Ann Dizney curated an impressive restaurant lineup including fine-dining favorites Beeside Balcony, Bluewater Boathouse, Poseidon on the Beach, The Fish Market, and more. Wine for the event was provided by Rescue Dog Wines. The evening’s emcees were KUSI’s Mark Mathis and ABC 10’s Megan Parry.
