Petco Park
This year’s event will be held at the architecturally magnificent Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres. Since 2004, the open-air stadium set in the heart of the city has been regarded as “The world's best ballpark in America’s Finest City.” With stunning views of San Diego Bay and the city skyline, Petco Park is more than a baseball stadium, it is the ultimate setting for an unforgettable event and this year's Founders Gala.
Party with a Purpose
The Founders Gala is the University of San Diego’s signature fundraising event that provides scholarships to USD’s best and brightest undergraduate, graduate, and law students. This event was born in 2009 and over those years has raised more than $4 million to directly support USD students.
