The San Diego Nice Guys recently held its 43rd annual major fundraising gala at the Marriott Marquis in downtown San Diego where it honored Sandra R den Uijl as the Nice Guy of the Year.
Each year, the nonprofit recognizes a local community leader who has given time, money and support to help San Diegans improve their lives.
Uijl spent the next nine years as a volunteer and fundraiser for Rady Children’s Hospital through the Rancho Santa Fe Auxiliary. She also started Rancho Santa Fe Tea3 Foundation to do project-based work with other organizations whose efforts focus on helping children, the military and animals.
The Nice Guy of the Year event is also a fundraiser for the group’s charities.
