On February 28, 2026, San Diego’s longest-running philanthropic tradition returns as the 117th Anniversary Charity Ball – Kaleidoscope welcomes guests for an evening of elegance, dancing, and heartfelt purpose. If you’d like to be part of this storied celebration, you may register here.

Since its founding in 1909, the Charity Ball has remained a defining event in the city’s social and charitable landscape, and for over 70 years it has stood firmly behind Rady Children’s Foundation. This year’s beneficiary—the Peckham Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders—continues to lead the way in research, treatment, and compassionate care that brings hope to children and families facing life-threatening diagnoses. Your participation strengthens that mission and helps move the work forward.

If you’re in the San Diego area, or if supporting pediatric cancer care is close to your heart, this is a night worth being part of.
