The Arc of San Diego, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, held its annual Spring Casino Royale Gala on Saturday night at the beautiful Manchester Grand Hyatt in downtown San Diego. The event, which raised over $200,000, was a tremendous success and featured a night of glamour, gaming, and giving back to the community.
Guests at the black-tie affair were greeted with a red carpet entrance and champagne reception, setting the stage for an evening of sophistication and fun. The ballroom was transformed into a dazzling casino, complete with blackjack, roulette, and craps tables, where guests could try their luck and win fabulous prizes. The live auction featured unique experiences and luxury items, with all proceeds going towards supporting The Arc of San Diego’s programs and services.

The troupe, consisting of children and adults with disabilities, showcased their skills in a stunning routine that left everyone in awe and inspired.
“We are so grateful for the incredible support from our community and donors who help make events like the Spring Casino Royale Gala possible,” said Pamela Smith, CEO of The Arc of San Diego. “The funds raised tonight will go towards providing vital services and support for individuals with disabilities, helping them lead full and independent lives.”
