Honorees Recognized for Supporting St. Vincent de Paul Village Children
By Mark Tsuchiya

St. Vincent de Paul Village will hold its 21st annual Children’s Charity Dinner on Saturday, March 27, at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in downtown San Diego.

This year’s honorees include long-time board treasurer Bob Fischer, Union Bank of California, Toussaint Academy, Harbor Elementary School and the Village’s Ladies’ Guild.

In the past two decades, the dinner has raised over $2 million for homeless and abandoned youth who have accessed Village services aimed at helping them regain stability in their lives and, ultimately, self-sufficiency.

Sponsored by KSWB Cares for Kids, a fund of the McCormick Tribune Foundation, the dinner is a black-tie optional affair that has developed into one of St. Vincent’s most successful fund-raising events.

" I never cease to be amazed by the ongoing support the people of San Diego and beyond have given the Village so that we may continue to care for the forgotten, troubled and homeless children who access our life-changing services," Father Joe said. "Our honorees this year exemplify that unyielding support and are worthy of recognition far greater than I could ever give."
