National Philanthropy Day was conceived in the 1980s, and the first official event was held in 1986 after President Ronald Reagan signed an official National Philanthropy Day proclamation. The day provides an opportunity to reflect on the meaning of giving and all that it has made possible. National Philanthropy Day in San Diego celebrated the endless daily contributions individuals and organizations across the city make to our community. Among those in attendance were Samantha Beilhart, Tamika Franklin, Jenny Aldrich, Regina Bernal, Alberto Mier y Teran, Ana Melgoza, Kazeem Omidiji, Carol Dedrich, Elizabeth Fitzsimons, Michael Hopkins, Sidd Vivek, Linda Katz, Brooke Berry, Katie Gomez, Veronica Macedo, and Liz Ramirez.
