CEF Celebrates 30 Years of Excellence with Party at Park Hyatt

Tickets are now for sale for the event on Saturday Aug. 24

The Carlsbad Educational Foundation (CEF) is celebrating 30 years of educational excellence and raising support for the Carlsbad public schools by holding a Party at the Park Hyatt! concert event at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort on Saturday, August 24, 2013. The proceeds of this end of summer celebration and fundraising event will help fund district-wide music at every elementary school and provide support to the middle and high school music programs.  Major sponsors of the event include Park Hyatt Aviara and Lexus Carlsbad.

“Park Hyatt Aviara Resort is proud to partner with the Carlsbad Educational Foundation for their 30 year celebration event. Education is extremely important to the Park Hyatt Brand, and with all donations benefitting local music education, we are thrilled to host this event” said Mark Stiebeling, General Manager of the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort.

The celebration will take place at the Park Hyatt Aviara outdoor concert venue on Kingfisher Drive, adjacent to the tennis center.  Gates open at 5:00 pm and music, featuring the sounds of local music favorites, The Fabulous Pelicans, will begin at 5:30 pm.  Guests will enjoy tapas and drinks generously provided by Fresco Trattoria, Pizza Port, Chapin Family Vineyards, Port Brewing Company, and The Lost Abbey in addition to exciting dessert options from Sub Zero Ice Cream and Yogurt.

“With the public schools in our community continuing to experience severe budget challenges and Carlsbad Unified receiving the lowest funding per student for all school districts in San Diego County, the Carlsbad Educational Foundation has stepped up to raise private support for programs that would not otherwise happen.  We are grateful for the Park Hyatt Aviara’s commitment to education, their partnership with the Foundation and the donation of their exceptional outdoor space” said chief executive officer, Valin Brown.
