The Ready to Respond Gala takes place on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at the beautiful Coasterra Bayview Ballroom on Harbor Island.
Join community leaders, first responders, business partners, and supporters for an inspiring evening celebrating the brave men and women of the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. Together, we’ll raise critical funds for firefighter wellness, lifesaving equipment, community preparedness, and other essential programs not funded by the City’s budget.
There are many ways to support this signature event. Sponsorship opportunities are still available, and we are also seeking donations of unique experiences, vacation stays, gift certificates, artwork, sports and entertainment packages, and other items for our silent and live auctions.
Every contribution, whether through sponsorship, ticket purchases, or auction donations, helps provide the resources our firefighters and lifeguards need to protect San Diego.
Interested in becoming a sponsor or donating an auction item?
