Teddy Ball 2026

At Teddy Ball, we believe that every child deserves a little extra comfort and joy during the holiday season. That's why each guest is required to bring a new stuffed teddy bear, which we collect and distribute to multiple organizations, including Autism Tree Project Foundation, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, Miracle Babies, Easter Seals SoCal, Promises2Kids, Father Joe's Villages, and local churches and orphanages. Your simple contribution can make a big impact in putting a smile on a child's face and spreading holiday cheer.

But Teddy Ball is not just about philanthropy - it's also about having a night to remember! As you enter the event, you'll be treated to a paparazzi experience on the red carpet, creating a glamorous and star-studded atmosphere. Once inside, you'll be immersed in a world of festivities that include live DJ performances. The fun continues with a freestyle fashion show, dancing, confetti cannons, multiple bars, exotic cars, and a huge pile of teddy bears, affectionately called the Teddy Pit. Capture the memories of walking the fashion runway, photos with Santa & Elves, indulge in the candy buffet, and strike a pose at the photo booth.

For those looking for an exclusive experience, our VIP Lounge offers bottle service and a chance to mingle with fellow philanthropists and community leaders. And if that's not enough, we also have silent auctions, raffles, magicians, and more to keep the excitement going all night long!

By attending Teddy Ball, not only will you have an unforgettable night of fun and glamour, but you'll also be supporting a worthy cause that makes a tangible difference in the lives of children in need. Join us in promoting awareness of our beneficiaries and spreading holiday joy to those who need it the most.
