Dinner with Friends “Hangs Ten” to Celebrate 10 Years of Giving

Dinner with Friends “Hangs Ten” to Celebrate 10 Years of Giving

Carlos Sanguinetti & Matt Teeter Mark 10 Years of Dinner with Friends

In 2009, a medical scare inspired Carlos Sanguinetti to find new ways of giving back in his community. Carlos brainstormed with his old friend, Matt Teeter, about what they could do.

They created Dinner with Friends, hosting more than 100 people at San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House for an evening of food, fun, and fundraising. Frequently gathering more than 300 supporters, their first nine events raised more than $650,000. Carlos and Matt’s efforts to rally community support have helped more than 600 families to benefit from weeklong stays at our House.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined in the annual evening of fun and giving on October 15, 2022 to benefit families at San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House. The rain dampened neither the spirits nor the generosity of attendees whose giving – with donations matched by the JMS Fund – helped raise the highest total yet. 

Dinner with Friends Grand Total = $137,295!!
