The 105th Anniversary Charity Ball, “From the Heart”, was held on Feb. 8 at the Hotel del Coronado. Charity Ball has been held at the Hotel del Coronado since its inception and is the longest running Gala in San Diego. Clarice Perkins was chair and worked with a committee of 50 volunteers. Proceeds from the evening netted $250,000 for the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego. Guests were entertained by the band, NRG and were treated to an aria sung by Megan Phillips, a heart patient at RCH since birth and now a student at the Boston Conservatory of Music.

EasyTurf joined Gary Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band at Naval Medical Center San Diego on Feb. 15 to honor wounded service members and the staff who care for them. A picnic lunch was provided by Chef Robert Irvine. “We’re excited to be a part of honoring our country’s service members and their families,” said Dave Hartman, EasyTurf President. This is the second year EasyTurf has participated in the event.
