Social Impact Soirée Part 2 + Birthday Celebration | San Diego
An evening of connection, community, and celebration by the sea
We’re back! 🌊✨ Join us for the second edition of the Social Impact Soirée — a relaxed evening to reconnect with familiar faces, welcome new ones, and celebrate Idelle’s birthday with intention and joy.
This time, we’ll gather at Cannonball at Belmont Park, right by the beach, to share sushi, meaningful conversation, and an ocean breeze. Whether you’re working in mental health, nonprofits, tech for good, or just care deeply about making the world better — you’re invited.
The first soirée sparked powerful connections, and we’re excited to expand the circle and keep the energy flowing. Come as you are. Leave with new friendships, ideas, and a full heart (and stomach!).
✨ What to expect
– A welcoming and low-pressure vibe
– Sushi and dinner conversation with a view (dietary notes welcome!)
– Connection with social impact doers and dreamers in San Diego
– A light celebration of Idelle’s birthday 🎉
