Holiday Celebration & Charity Awards

It’s the most wonderful luncheon of the year!

Throughout 2025, NCWIN members have generously supported our fundraising efforts through the annual auction, Opportunity Table donations, Marketplace Tables, and Agenda Sponsorships. Now it’s time to celebrate the impact of that generosity as we present funds to this year’s two outstanding organizations.

Milestone House

Milestone House brings positive and lasting change to children whose lives have been impacted by trauma. Located in Oceanside, this short-term residential therapeutic program provides trauma-informed care and treatment in a compassionate, home-like environment. Their individualized programs help children heal from abuse, rebuild trust, and move forward with hope, empowering them to reach their goals and fulfill their highest potential.

Rising Star Student of the Month – Vista Chamber of Commerce

The Rising Star program brings the community together to honor local high school seniors who exemplify character, integrity, and a genuine love of learning. These students stand out through their involvement in school and community activities, and many have overcome significant challenges without compromising their education. At its heart, Rising Star celebrates students who make a difference in their homes, schools, and communities with sincerity and passion.

This luncheon is about celebration: our giving, our community, and the difference we make together.

✨ Festive Fun: Wear your favorite holiday attire — sparkles, sweaters, or whatever puts you in the spirit — and join us for an uplifting afternoon of connection and celebration.
