More than 130 guests filled the dining room at Callie for Feeding San Diego’s second annual Pairings with a Purpose Dinner Party, where chef-owner Travis Swikard served a four-course meal with wine pairings by sommelier Tracy Latimer. 

The evening raised over $300,000—enough to provide more than 600,000 meals for the nonprofit’s School Pantry Program, which supplies nutritious food directly to families at local K–12 campuses. Guests bid on silent and live auction items, heard stories from Berry Elementary principal Joe Prosapio, and rallied during a paddle raise.
