Fundraisers & Galas

Fundraising season on the Central Coast runs most of the year: galas at the Monterey Conference Center and the Peninsula resorts, crab feeds and dinners in Salinas and Watsonville, golf tournaments, auctions, benefit concerts and luncheons for the hospitals, food banks, schools, arts organizations and youth programs of both counties. The same donors are invited to many of them, so dates matter.

This page lists fundraisers, galas, benefit dinners and auctions across Monterey and Santa Cruz counties with the beneficiary, venue, price and ticket link. Organizers can use the planner to see which weekends already have a major gala before they pick theirs.
