“Spring Fling 2023 Havana Nights was one for the record books! Thanks to the hard work of a fabulous team, our highly anticipated fundraising gala made a profit of more than $60,000. Shout out to Kari Clabaugh Fields & Jessica Sanfelippo! That’s money that goes directly back to our school, benefiting our koalas! Awesome job, can’t wait till next year….”

– Sharon Greene Camarillo, FFO President

The 2023 Spring Fling Gala

The Jerabek FFO welcomes you to the beautiful San Diego landmark, The Catamaran Hotel Resort. We are happy to return to a Saturday night and we’ve added an hour on to the evening!

Please join us for a fun night of food, drinks, dancing and fundraising!

For those of you that have never attended a Jerabek Spring Fling Gala, you are in for a treat. It is Jerabek’s adult-only event. It includes a cocktail hour with passed appetizers, photo booth, a three-course meal, coffee & tea bar, dancing, entertainment and a silent and live auction.

You are sure to be interested in one of our 70 silent auction baskets or 8 live auction items. We have vacation rentals, hotels, birthday parties, gift certificates and much more!

We hope to see you there!

FAQ About Spring Fling Gala

Cocktail, Havana theme, or whatever you have the most fun in!

Tickets:

No paper tickets. Please just check in at Registration.

May I invite guests?

Anyone who wants to support the school is welcome. They just need to buy a ticket online.

Can a group of friends bid on one item together?

Yes! Forming a group is a great way to afford some parties, vacations, wine and other expensive items. However, we can only charge one bidder’s account, so designate one specific bidder and have other group members pay that bidder.

I can’t go to the event but I want to give to the FFO?

Please consider making a one time donation and/or purchasing a Sponsor Staff Ticket. All direct donations go to Jerabek students’ education. You may also use the link above to register as a bidder without purchasing tickets. This will be for silent auction items only.
