    Las Patronas Jewell Ball
    Location: La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club - View Map

    Details:
    Las Patronas was founded in 1946 by fourteen members who contributed handmade decorations to the first Jewel Ball. Today, the active members of Las Patronas proudly carry on the traditions of our founding members by building the design elements by hand and transporting them, piece by piece, to the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club to creat one of San Diego's most unique and best fêtes.

    Throughout the year leading up to the Ball, Las Patronas active members spend time at “The Warehouse,” busily drilling, sawing, lifting, nailing, sanding, drawing, stenciling, painting, marbling, sponging, lettering, and more – all to benefit our carefully chosen and deserving San Diego County charities. Jewel Ball work week we hit the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club running and the only racket on the tennis courts comes from the sound of power tools. Husbands, children, and some of our beneficiaries come to help us unload trucks from our warehouse and to put up the scenery that transforms the Beach Club into a fantasyland each year.​When you see us that evening, dancing until the last guest leaves, you’ll know that we had a rocking good time. And that we can’t wait to get up the next morning and do it all over again.

    We look forward to your presence at this our 80th Jewel Ball celebration.

    The Dream On Concert Gala offers a unique blend of elegance and impact, set upon the sweeping lawns of a magnificent La Jolla estate with commanding views of the Pacific and its stunning coastline.  As the sun sets over the coast, guests are invited to a sophisticated cocktail reception followed by a gourmet dinner, all set against a backdrop of community and shared purpose. The evening’s centerpiece is an exclusive private concert, providing an intimate musical experience that has made this event one of the most anticipated "sell-out" dates on the local social calendar.


    While the atmosphere is one of celebration, the heart of the gala is its commitment to the more than 3,000 foster children in San Diego County. By joining 500 of the region’s most influential philanthropists and business leaders, attendees play a direct role in funding critical programs that provide academic support, mentorship, and essential resources for children of all ages. It is an evening where luxury meets legacy, ensuring that every guest contributes to a brighter, more stable future for the youth who need it most.


    With its history of reaching capacity quickly, securing a place at the September 14th gala is as much about experiencing a premier San Diego event as it is about championing a vital cause. It is a night designed to inspire, combining high-level networking and world-class entertainment with the profound satisfaction of making a tangible difference in the lives of local foster children.
