Day at the Races
Join us for an unforgettable day of excitement and impact at the 12th Annual Day at the Races, hosted by the Foundation for Developmental Disabilities (FDD). Held at the iconic Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, this beloved event features thrilling horse races, a silent auction, and luxury skybox views—all supporting a vital cause. Proceeds benefit the FDD Help Fund, providing emergency financial assistance to San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) clients and their families, ensuring access to housing, utility relief, and essential support for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs).
Sponsoring our 12th Annual Day at the Races offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) by supporting the Help Fund, a vital lifeline providing critical assistance for families facing emergencies such as homelessness prevention and utility support.
Season of Sharing
As the holiday season approaches—traditionally filled with joy and family gatherings—many families served by the San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) face overwhelming financial challenges. To address this, the Foundation for Developmental Disabilities (FDD) launched the Season of Sharing Program, a heartfelt initiative providing holiday gift cards to qualified SDRC clients. This program is more than just a gift; it’s a lifeline that ensures families in financial hardship can still experience the warmth and joy of the holiday season.
FDD invites you to sponsor Season of Sharing at Stone Brewing in Liberty Station. This family-friendly gathering is dedicated to raising essential funds for SDRC clients and their families. Your sponsorship directly ensures families in need can experience the holiday season with dignity, joy, and vital resources, transforming a time of financial stress into hope and togetherness.
