Gala benefits the American Cancer Society

The San Diego Chargers and the San Diego Padres teamed up with the American Cancer Society for the 2014 Discovery Celebration Gala & San Diego Invitational, held June 1-2 at The Grand Del Mar Resort.

The theme of this year’s festivities was “Teaming Up Against Cancer” and the event raised essential funding for the American Cancer Society’s mission, which includes research, education, advocacy, patient programs and service.

The Discovery Celebration Gala took place June 1, with a “Ritzy Tailgate” cocktail reception and silent auction, followed by dinner, a program and live auction.

The event also included the popular 11th Annual San Diego Invitational golf tournament, which was held June 2 at The Grand Del Mar.
