St. Germaine Children’s Charity has paved the way for a safer world for young children and vulnerable youth. Due to the generosity of our patrons, we celebrate 36 years of financial support to local child abuse prevention agencies in San Diego, to help provide relief for their programs. We have awarded over $4,800,000 in cash and an estimated $1,700,000 of in-kind donations. However, with the restrictions in place due to COVID-19, child abuse has surged, needs have risen, and charitable giving has fallen significantly. 

As a result, St. Germaine has had to pivot our direction in how we will continue funding the frontline agencies that support these victims. In lieu of our traditional fundraiser, The Silver Tea, we are creating a beautiful cookbook, titled “Dining In, Recipes from La Jolla’s Finest Restaurants” as our main fundraiser. The goal is twofold; raise funds for the child abuse prevention agencies and highlight and support our local community restaurants during this difficult time. The overall concept is to offer an elegant  hardbound cookbook that is fresh and modern, and will feature a compilation of recipes hand selected from our local chefs. We hope to invoke a feeling of the coastal living lifestyle people associate with La Jolla, while also providing a sense of pride and joy to those who purchase our cookbook as they read about the organization, patronage, commitment to our community, and most importantly, our mission to help the abused and neglected of San Diego. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the cookbook will be allocated to the agencies to support their programs. We are also fortunate and extremely excited that Chef Bernard from the Marine Room and La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club has lent his endorsement and assistance in ensuring the look and success of the book!
