The Lucky Duck Foundation hosted its inaugural Showcase Soirée recently, during which the nonprofit raised more than $2.5 million to alleviate the suffering of homelessness.

The event was held at The Sound in Del Mar. Peter Jacobsen, professional golfer and commentator on Golf Channel and NBC, hosted. The Showcase Soirée also featured a comedy show by actor and comedian Steve Hytner, known for his role as Kenny Bania on Seinfeld; a magic show by Derek Ostovani; a musical performance by the Dizzy Biz Band; and an appearance by former Chargers head coach Norv Turner, along with dinner, a live auction and paddle raise.

Demonstrating enormous generosity, David and Vala Lueth matched all donations during the paddle raise up to $250,000, and Lucky Duck co-founders Pat and Stephanie Kilkenny matched all donations up to $1.5 million.
