Foundation Special Events Producer/Manager

Seacrest Foundation

Seacrest Foundation raises funds to support Seacrest Village and Seacrest at Home in their ability to provide charitable care to those frail and elderly members of our community who may have nowhere else to turn for help. Seacrest Village is a vibrant senior housing and healthcare organization that provides a nurturing and caring environment–all within the Jewish tradition. Seacrest at Home cares for the elderly who need assistance with the activities of daily living residing in their own homes throughout San Diego. If you are looking for work that is meaningful and provides you with a sense of pride in helping the most vulnerable among us, we want to talk with you!
