Guardians Of San Diego

Guardians of San Diego was founded in 1945 for the sole purpose of raising funds for the Homes. Over 60 years later, under the current direction of President Earl Altshuler, Guardians of San Diego continues to make life better for the frail and elderly who reside at our Encinitas and Rancho Bernardo campuses. Guardians of San Diego is dedicated to making the future more meaningful and satisfying for those in need.

Guardians of San Diego hosts the annual Golf & Tennis Tournament. On Monday, July 19, 2010, over one hundred golfers & tennis players enjoyed the immaculate backdrop and course of the Rancho Santa Fe Golf & Tennis Clubs. Attendees mingled with friends, old and new, over lunch prior to the shotgun start. At the conclusion of golf & tennis play, both spouses and friends joined the tournament players for a reception complete with live music, hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and silent & live auctions! This perfect day was followed by a magical evening, with a buffet dinner served inside the beautiful Rancho Santa Fe Clubhouse.

Guardians fundraising activities help to defray the costs of caring for our seniors.  Accomplishments at the Encinitas campus include:

• Committing more than $1,000,000 to its development and expansion.
• Creating a putting green for resident activities.
• Funding construction of a $300,000 Activity Center for the residents of the Joseph & Dorothy Goldberg Healthcare Center. The Activity Center is designed to accommodate the special needs of residents and visitors by providing a warm and comfortable environment for religious, social and recreational activities.
• Purchasing modern equipment and specialty items to enhance the quality of health and life.
• Underwriting the cost of special events and outings.
