The 2016 Don Diego Scholarship Foundation Gala, “Rock and Roll With Us,” was held June 30 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Scholarship recipients were honored at the event, and attendees enjoyed a gourmet dinner and a concert by Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys, who presented “Pet Sounds: Celebrating the 50th Anniversary” with special guests Al Jardine and Blondie Chapin.

The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation “provides scholarships to deserving San Diego youth who are associated with activities at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, including the San Diego County Fair, and are pursuing their educational interests. The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation also provides grants for agricultural education.”
