APOLO OHNO: Salvation Army Fundraiser in San Diego (Part 3)

*COPYRIGHT* Part 3 - some candids and highlights from the event. The money raised goes towards funding activities provided by the Salvation Army's Kroc Center so that every child and family can participate in various programs and sports without regards to income levels.
Personal observation: arriving fashionably late, I noticed that many other guests whom had reserved tables did not make it to this event, for whatever reason, thus there were a few empty tables. Their names with table numbers were evident at the check-in area. Otherwise, it would have been a full house.
