Friendsgiving:
Gratitude & Giving Back

Wrapping Party

​

New LVL’s Wrapping Party turns our community’s generosity into gifts, wrapped by volunteers every year so every donated toy reaches a child ready to give, not just received, carrying the holiday spirit into every home across our own city.

2026 Gormans Golf Charity Classic
Powered by New LVL 

New LVL partnered with Rancho Bernardo Inn to host our first annual Gorman’s Golf Charity Classic, named for co-hosts Karl Gorman and Errol Gorman. The weekend was a spirited celebration of community and generosity, bringing together local businesses, sponsors, and golfers from across San Diego, all committed to supporting single mothers and their children.

​

The celebration kicked off Friday evening with a VIP Whiskey & Cigar Experience, giving our top sponsors and guests an exclusive start to the weekend. Saturday brought a full day on the course from morning until early afternoon, followed by a Cocktail Hour, and an Award Ceremony & After Party that carried the celebration into the evening, complete with a Comfort Station Bar keeping golfers refreshed between holes.

​

We’re deeply grateful to Insperity, our Presenting Sponsor, and to Blue Shield of California Foundation, our Silver Sponsor, whose generous support included a VIP table for eight, a Friday VIP dinner, and preferred golf and spa experiences for their guests. OluKai, High Camp, First Integrity Title, John J. LoVasco, and WestPac Wealth all stepped up as On-Course Sponsors, while Ballast Point, Projx2Print, Bad Birdie, and University Club contributed in-kind as our beer, print, product, and tequila sponsors, rounding out a weekend built entirely on community generosity.

​

To every sponsor, partner, volunteer, and golfer who showed up for this community, thank you. Your support went directly toward housing, food security, and workforce programs for the single mothers and children New LVL serves. Events like this remind us that when we come together, we have the power to change lives.

2026
Backpack Giveaway

New LVL partnered with Skyline Park and Recreation Center in San Diego to host our second annual Back to School Backpack Drive. The evening was a joyful celebration of community and opportunity, bringing together families, neighbors, city partners, and local organizations all committed to helping kids start the school year strong.

​

Over 600 community members — including single parents and children from across the neighborhood — came out for an evening of food, jumpers, face painting, and activities for the whole family. By the end of the night, New LVL had distributed more than 400 backpacks and, in partnership with Feeding San Diego, 80 pounds of groceries to families in need.

​

The highlight of the evening was our raffle giveaway, where New LVL gave away TVs, gas cards, and gift cards, with Computers 2 Kids generously contributing Meta glasses to the prize lineup. We're also deeply grateful to Steinberg Hart, who sponsored the event and named New LVL their Community of the Day partner, bringing their own staff out to volunteer alongside us with food service, registration, and backpack distribution. And a special thank-you to Mayor Todd Gloria's office for joining us to support the cause and hand out lunch pails with our team.

​

Rounding out the evening were community organizations who hosted booths and connected families to even more resources: Black Women Adventures, Computers 2 Kids, Volunteers of America, Live Well San Diego, Feeding San Diego, City of San Diego, and San Diego Parks Foundation. To every sponsor, partner, volunteer, and neighbor who showed up for this community — thank you. Events like this remind us that when we come together, we have the power to change lives.

2026 Mother Day Event

New LVL hosted an unforgettable Mother's Day Fundraiser Dinner at the elegant Greystone Steakhouse in San Diego. The evening was a beautiful celebration of strength, resilience, and community, bringing together supporters, partners, and the incredible single mothers at the heart of our mission.

​

Guests enjoyed a wonderful dining experience while raising funds to directly support New LVL's programs serving single mothers and their children in San Diego County. The evening was filled with meaningful conversation, heartfelt moments, and a shared commitment to elevating mothers and transforming generations.

​

The highlight of the night was our awards presentation, honoring three extraordinary women who embody the spirit of the New LVL mission. Each recipient was recognized for the strength, perseverance, and courage they carry every day as single mothers navigating life's greatest challenges. Their stories moved the room and reminded everyone in attendance exactly why this work matters.

​

We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us, donated, and showed up for this community. Events like this remind us that when we come together, we have the power to change lives.

2025 Breakfast & Toy Giveaway

The New LVL Toy Drive was a community-centered holiday initiative designed to ensure children and families experienced joy, dignity, and meaningful support during the holiday season. The event was held at Skyline Park and Recreation Center in partnership with the City of San Diego, providing an accessible and welcoming space for families to gather, connect, and celebrate.

​

This effort would not have been possible without the generosity of Toys for Tots, whose provision of toys served as the foundation of the Toy Drive and ensured children were able to experience the joy, excitement, and magic of the holiday season. Their support made it possible for families to receive meaningful gifts during a time that can be financially and emotionally challenging.

​

In addition, the Women of the Club at the University Club played a critical role in the success of the event. Through their sponsorship and hands-on support, they ensured every gift was wrapped with love, dignity, and intention—transforming donated toys into meaningful expressions of care for children and families.

Together, these partnerships allowed New LVL to deliver a Toy Drive rooted not only in generosity, but in dignity, compassion, and community connection. Each wrapped gift represented more than a holiday item—it symbolized support, belonging, and a shared commitment to uplifting families during the holiday season.

2025 Wrapping Party

The New LVL Wrapping Party was a community-centered event created to ensure every child received a holiday gift that was thoughtfully wrapped with care, intention, and dignity. This event reflects New LVL’s commitment to improving the dignity of services and honoring families through intentional, respectful delivery of support.

This event would not have been possible without the generosity of Toys for Tots, who provided the toys that served as the foundation of the celebration. Their support ensured children were able to experience the joy, excitement, and magic of the holiday season through meaningful gifts.

The Women of the Club at the University Club generously sponsored the wrapping event, creating a warm and welcoming space where each gift could be carefully wrapped and prepared. Their sponsorship helped ensure that families received beautifully presented gifts that honored both the children receiving them and the parents who deserve the opportunity to provide something special for their families.

Together, these partnerships transformed donated toys into personalized expressions of care, reinforcing the power of community collaboration and New LVL’s mission to uplift families with dignity, compassion, and purpose.

2025 Backpack Giveaway

This year’s Backpack Drive at Skyline Park & Recreation Center was a true community celebration! Over 200 families joined us, and each child had the chance to pick out their own personal school supplies along with a brand-new backpack. Families also connected with community resources while enjoying a day full of fun — from a food truck and dessert truck to a jumper, face painting, and a photo booth.

​

A huge thanks to the Skyline Park & Rec staff for their amazing partnership and support, with a special thanks to the Recreation Center Director for helping make this event possible! A special shoutout goes to our official sponsor, Mission Fed, who provided on-site support by offering Second Chance Bank Accounts — with many families opening accounts the very same day. 

 

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event a success. Together, we’re building stronger futures for our community.
