Teaching a child to flyfish is a gift that keeps on giving. It’s a life-changing experience that begins with introducing children to the wonders of nature, mentors them in the art of catching a fish on a hand-tied fly and opens their hearts to a life-long passion for environmental stewardship.

This journey of hope, resilience, and self-discovery is the heartbeat of Casino Date Night, Cast Hope, San Diego’s second annual summer gala. Guests will sip, savor, play, and dance the night away in the company of the good-hearted San Diegans who are the champions of Cast Hope’s mission: Mentoring young lives of promise, one cast at a time.

This year’s summer gala will feature the presentation of Cast Hope, San Diego’s inaugural North Star Award to celebrated American author and San Diego resident Richard Louv, whose landmark book, Last Child in the

Woods, inspired an international movement to connect children and nature. The North Star Award honors San Diegans for their commitment to helping children discover the wonders of nature.

The colors and flavors of Baja, Mexico will illuminate this magical evening on beautiful Mission Bay. Between sips of hand-crafted margaritas and bites of a delicious catered Mexican dinner, guests will have the opportunity to bid on an array of curated live and silent auction experiences. Fun and excitement await in the Let’s Play! Lounge, where guests can try their luck at poker, craps, and blackjack. After catching their breath, partygoers will savor Mexican sweets and coffee, before hitting the dance floor to the soulful California sounds of Par Avion.
