The community is invited to join in raising over $50,000 this year.  The Rotary Club members, board of directors, and many generous volunteers have been working hard to create this fantastic event.  The Sunset Soiree is an inspiring and fun-filled evening to help raise funds to support groups at the local level, including many programs for middle school and high school students, scholarships, leadership camps, a Model United Nations program, and a music competition. The club also supports nonprofits such as the Scout Troops and Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito to support youth programs further. 

For added excitement, the auctions will be virtual and in-person.  Beginning Tuesday, September 6, the week-long online auctions will go live until Monday September 12, 2022 at 8 pm, before the in-person event at the Del Mar Plaza.  Online bidders will also be offered “Buy it Now” opportunities.    

This year’s auction boasts a variety of items, including luxury and local experience packages, jewelry, premium wines and much, much more!  Tickets for a raffle to win a gift card tree blooming with dozens of cards (you need not be present to win) are available on the site and at the event.

Back by popular demand, the auction will be capped off with a “Last Hero” opportunity to win a purple YETI® hard cooler filled with a baker’s dozen of wines valued at around $100 per bottle.
