Raise money for S4EA at fun events

Because of the Coronavirus Pandemic, some of the 2021 S4EA Fundraisers may be virtual or on-line. S4EA hopes that the situation will have changed once enough people get the vaccine that we will be able to have in person fundraisers again by the summer of 2021.

Alternative Fundraiser to "A Taste 4 SPORTS"

When

The month of May with door prize drawing on Thursday, May 28, 2020

Where

In the Comfort and Safety of your Home

Suggested Donation

$50

SPORTS for Exceptional Athletes would normally be hosting our 13th annual “A Taste 4 SPORTS” gala fundraiser on Thursday, May 28th from 6:00 - 9:00pm at the Balboa Park Club in beautiful Balboa Park for 350-400 guests. However, because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic, S4EA cannot hold a fundraising event with several hundred guests. Therefore, S4EA is having an Alternative Fundraiser to “A Taste 4 SPORTS”. Because “A Taste 4 SPORTS” is our largest fundraiser, S4EA needs your support now more than ever for this Alternative Fundraiser by making a straight donation so that S4EA can provide the same high level programming once the Pandemic is over. 

Alternative Taste -

​

Virtual Golf Classic Highlights

• The Ball Drop happened again this year with Marie Alvarez the winner receiving $500 cash.
