Online ticket sales have ended for this popular, fun event! Please email development@sonrisasdental.org if you would like to purchase a ticket at the door (we have just a few left). You'll need to bring your vaccine card with you to enter the event.

Join us as we celebrate the return of the 7^th Annual Sonrisas Cooking for a Cause Paella Demonstration and Benefit dinner!

This fun-filled evening includes cooking demonstrations of three classic varieties of Spanish-style paella (chicken, vegetable, seafood), a delicious paella dinner, fantastic tapas, live music from band The Outer Half, and a no-host bar featuring Iberian wines, beer from Hop Dogma, and other beverage options. The event will be held outside in the courtyard of the stunning Half Moon Bay Library and we will be requiring proof of vaccination to keep it safe.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Sonrisas Dental Health, a non-profit in HMB and San Mateo that provides access to oral health care to those who face barriers to care as well as screening and educating over 1,000 kids in lower income schools throughout San Mateo County, including on the Coast. We are celebrating our 20th anniversary this year.

Together, we will bring smiles to more neighbors throughout our community! We hope to see you there.
