Welcome to the Mission Estancia "Dine, Dance and Donate thru the Decades" Gala & Auction!

Whether you are joining us on the dance floor or bidding from the comfort of your couch, your support makes a massive difference for our kids!

This is the Mission Estancia Encinitas Educational Foundation’s (ME EEF) biggest fundraiser of the year. In partnership with the Encinitas Educational Foundation, all proceeds go directly toward funding innovation in our classrooms and essential programs that prepare our students to be world-ready, including supporting rigorous and challenging academic programs and inspiring performing arts programs. Here's how to support:
