On Saturday, September 6, 2008 Second Chance celebrated 15 years of success at our third annual fall gala. Gala Committee Chair Gordon Cooke and Board Chair Greg Markow welcomed the nearly 400 people who attended  Keynote speaker Troy Evans shared some life lessons and reflections, and Second Chance graduate Chase was featured in a video about Second Chance and addressed the gala crowd directly. Martino's Catering provided a wonderful dinner and Stage 4 provided background and dance music. The San Diego Symphony Summer Pops site was the lovely setting for the event. It was a wonderful evening for everyone.

We are especially thankful for the many organizations and individuals who provided support to Second Chance through sponsorships and donations.
