Teddy Ball 2023

The Teddy Ball, a high energy, black-tie holiday celebration hosted yearly in San Diego by local nonprofit, . The event brings together San Diego's Finest to raise funds for and promote awareness of our beneficiaries. Each guest is required to bring a new stuffed teddy bear which we collect for distribution to multiple organizations (Autism Tree Project Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, Miracle Babies, Easter Seals SoCal, Promises2Kids, Father Joe's Villages), and other local churches and orphanages) in time for holiday gifting. Cruise 4 Kids and Teddy Ball Founder, Nino Venturella, joins eleven other San Diego industry leaders as Hosts of the Ball to be recognized for their recent professional accomplishments, community involvement, and great character.

As guests enter they will be treated to a paparazzi experience on the red carpet on their way to a night of festivities which includes music from live DJs, dancing, multiple bars, exotic cars, a huge pile of teddy bears, silent auction, magicians, photos with Santa & Elves, photo booth, candy buffet, cold sparks, and exclusive VIP Lounge. Guests will enjoy the photo opportunity of submerging themselves into the large collection of teddy bears called Teddy Wall.
