Welcome to the 45th Annual Nice Guy of the Year Gala to be held on October 18, 2025 honoring United States Marine Corps Veteran and Attorney at Law, Vince Bartolotta, Jr.

The Nice Guys have been a part of San Diego since 1979, helping local families and individuals who, through no fault of their own, have fallen on tough times. Our goal is to get people back on their feet and self-sufficient. The Nice Guys serve the San Diego community and our only reward is, and always has been, the pleasure that comes from helping others.

Since we first began in 1979, Nice Guys donations have been in excess of $21 million for families and individuals in San Diego County. There is no overhead, no offices, and no paid staff. The 175+ Nice Guys donate their time and labor to help the less fortunate. It is through their tireless support, generous donations, leadership, and dedication to making life better for those in need that the Nice Guys organization has continued to flourish.

Family is the main focus of the Nice Guys. The majority of the money we raise goes to help families who have somehow “fallen through the cracks.” A medical bill, a car repair, clothes needed after a house fire, a wheelchair for a young man injured while being a Good Samaritan – this is the type of assistance offered by the Nice Guys. Our goal is always to get people back on their feet and to be, once again, self sufficient.  “Offering a hand up, not a handout.”
