2025 Annual Meeting & Awards Ceremony

Resized For Website (6)

On June 6th, 2025, we gathered at The Dana on Mission Bay for The Arc of San Diego's Annual Meeting & Awards Celebration to honor and award those who have helped us become who we are today. Joined by Emcee Perette Godwin, we recognized clients, staff, and volunteers for their achievements, and enjoyed a night of dinner, dancing, and laughter!
