jdrf promise ball

there are certain events that you know are going to be great before they even start, and the jdrf promise ball was one of these events. from the moment we walked into the new hilton bayfront hotel in downtown san diego until the final raffle ticket was drawn, the jdrf promise ball was absolutely amazing.










the evening is a huge fundraising event for the juvenile diabetes research foundation (jdrf), a great organization that is committed to finding a cure for juvenile diabetes. there was a fabulous silent auction with some really great items up for sale and a live auction, which included dinner by san diego firefighters, tickets to oprah, and a trip to yankee stadium, among others.






as part of the fun, they had a great take on the traditional photo booth, a company called a little scene. in about a minute, they will take a 7-second video of you and turn it into a photo flip-book, like the ones you had when you were a kid. its a fabulous idea and super fun.




the bidding was fast and furious as the auctioneer (who spoke faster than anyone i have ever heard) did a great time raising money for this great cause.






overall, this was a great time and an amazing fundraiser, and we were honored to be a part of it.
