San Diego nonprofit organization launches inaugural event to benefit local youth
San Diego CA— The Positive Movement Foundation, a San Diego-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization specializing in the betterment of school-aged children and their families, announced today they will host an inaugural ‘Cocktails for a Cause’ event on Saturday, August 28, 2021.
The event will raise funds to support Positive Movement Foundation’s many local programs.

The conference is a one-day weekend event that focuses on creating an atmosphere where each girl can maximize her potential to be a leader in her community, an ambassador of her thoughts, and an agent of change in the world around her.
“Our team is dedicated to the betterment of San Diego’s greatest at-risk children,” said Positive Movement Foundation Founder and President Omid Sabet. “We have identified many opportunities to serve our community and anticipate having a significant impact on the lives of those we are looking to serve. Positive Movement Foundation was created to assist children and their families through a variety of donations and programs in an effort to ensure our community’s youth have access to the tools needed to achieve their highest potential.”
The social event will consist of silent and live auction items, including VIP tickets to local festivals, dinner with celebrities, elite gym memberships & other unique experiences. Additionally, food and drinks will be served. Guests are encouraged to use car and ride share services to avoid drinking and driving.
