Las Patronas' 69th annual Jewel Ball — one of the most glamorous annual fundraisers in San Diego since 1946 — sported a French theme for 2015, celebrating the bon vivant and the joie de vivre in high style on Aug. 8 at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Bien sur there was Champagne, cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and auctions, toutefois, dinner and dancing to the music of Wayne Foster Entertainment provided the pièce de résistance. The major beneficiaries of the Las Patronas Jewel Ball 2015 are: Alpha Project for the Homeless; Arc of San Diego; Boys & Girls Clubs of San Diego; Living Coast Discovery Center; Mountain Health & Community Services, Inc.; Old Globe Theatre; The Preuss School UCSD; University of San Diego Hahn School of Nursing & Health Science; and San Diego Zoo Global.
