On October 12th, Big Brothers & Big Sisters held their 55th Annual Dinner Gala at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine. It began with a festive cocktail reception with silent auction followed by a sumptuous dinner and a presentation of awards. The evening was a fun-filled success highlighted by having raised $100,000 more than last year's Gala and more in donations than any of their previously held gourmet dinner fundraisers.
