The 2026 Waves of Giving Luncheon
Every day, more families face the overwhelming reality of caring for loved ones with chronic and disabling conditions. The need is urgent, and the time to act is now.
The Waves of Giving Luncheon is more than an event: it’s a call to action. Together, we will forge new partnerships, strengthen long-standing alliances, and honor community leaders who are driving caregiver advocacy forward. This gathering unites healthcare providers, community organizations, philanthropists, and advocates around one shared mission: ensuring caregivers are never left to navigate these challenges alone.
Your participation matters. By attending, sponsoring, or simply spreading the word, you are helping the Southern Caregiver Resource Center (SCRC) continue its life-changing work: providing critical support, resources, and hope to families who need it most.
Join us on February 20, 2026, and stand with us in turning the tide for caregivers. Together, we are anchored in care and united in purpose.

About the Waves of Giving Luncheon
The Waves of Giving Luncheon is a one-of-a-kind networking event for professionals and advocates in any industry that supports or is impacted by the tireless efforts of family caregivers.
Caregivers struggle with gaps in communication and service between their doctors, in-home or respite care providers, social workers, elder law professionals, and community advocates. By attending the Waves of Giving Luncheon, you and your agency can collaborate with affiliated organizations across San Diego County and work toward closing that gap. Together, we can improve the lives and wellbeing of family caregivers struggling to deliver complex medical care and emotional support to their loved ones.
All proceeds from the Waves of Giving Luncheon benefit Southern Caregiver Resource Center's vital support programs for family caregivers, including case management, short- and long-term care planning, individual counseling, support groups, legal and financial guidance, and evidence-based education and training.
