The Silver Tea is St. Germaine’s signature fundraiser, held each December at a festively decorated private residence. The event heralds the holiday season with tea, little sandwiches, cookies, a silent auction, and the iconic silver bowl where guests add cash donations.
This year’s event, chaired by Sherry Macelli and co-chair Michelle Brown will mark The Tea’s 40th (ruby) anniversary. It will be held on December 10 from 1 to 4 pm at a mid-century family home in La Jolla’s Muirlands community.
Since 1984, we have provided financial and in-kind support to San Diego County’s abused and neglected children through grants to local agencies that serve them. Grant applications are available on the website the 1st week of January and must be submitted by the 1st week of February each year. This is a special year, we are celebrating our 40th anniversary since Founder Barbara Christensen, started the organization in her quest to prevent and end child abuse.
