The Point Loma Association presented its annual dinner Oct. 14 with the name “Gateway Gala,” attracting some 300 guests to the Kona Kai Resort on Shelter Island.
The dinner, which included music and live and silent auctions, helped the PLA, a nonprofit that organizes various beautification and outreach projects in the Point Loma area.
This year’s event was called the Gateway Gala for the association’s peninsula gateway sign project planned for south of Rosecrans and Lytton streets.
The PLA’s 2024 Lighthouse Award went to the NTC Foundation, a nonprofit that oversees the Arts District at Liberty Station. This year the foundation partnered with Cygnet Theatre to break ground on the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Performing Arts Center in Building 178 at Liberty Station. The center is known as “The Joan,” after late San Diego philanthropist Joan Jacobs.
The 2024 Community Champion Award went to the PLA’s weekly newsletter, with Clark Burlingame accepting the award.
