About the event
The Lions Den Charity Gala: An Evening of Art, Honor, and Giving
Join us for The Lions Den Charity Gala, an elegant and inspiring evening dedicated to celebrating our community, honoring those who have served, and raising vital funds to support our mission throughout the coming year.
Held in the timeless, breathtaking Beaux-Arts setting of The Julia Morgan Ballroom—an architectural masterpiece named for the legendary architect who helped rebuild San Francisco—this annual black-tie event is our most important evening. We bring together patrons, participants, and community leaders for a night of fine dining, distinguished awards, and a thrilling art auction.
