Upcoming Events

Day at the Races 2023

The Foundation for Developmental Disabilities (FDD) invites you to our annual Day at the Races event on Thursday, August 31, 2023, at 12:00 PM. Join us for edge-of-your-seat entertainment at the Il Palio restaurant at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club.

Guests can expect a silent auction and stimulating community engagement in a luxurious skybox overlooking the racetrack.

All proceeds from this event will go toward FDD's Help Fund Program. The Help Fund is one of the Foundation’s most impactful programs— serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) and their families. Since 1986, we have provided over $1,550,000 to assist the San Diego Regional Center’s (SDRC) 37,000 clients in emergencies such as homelessness prevention and assistance with utilities.

Enjoy a day at the races while making an impact in our community. We can't wait to see you at the Skybox!

If you cannot attend this event, we encourage you to make a gift to support our Help Fund.

Best Attire Competition

Whether you prefer the classic Southern charm of a seersucker suit or a structured pastel dress, we want to see your best attire. Dress to delight and you could win the Best Attire Competition.

Accessibility

The Foundation is committed to hosting accessible and inclusive events for our community. If you require accommodation or service or if you are experiencing any accessibility issues, please contact mail@foundationfordd.org.

Sponsorship

As a sponsor, you will be supporting a charitable cause with a vision to create equitable access to opportunities that maximize the potential of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. You will also gain increased brand exposure with logo placement on event signage and promotional materials and the opportunity to engage with peers, potential customers and clients, and like-minded professionals. We encourage you to invite your family, friends, colleagues, and clients.
