At Cane Cares, we believe that even the smallest acts of kindness can create lasting change. This year’s Annual Community Food Drive was a wonderful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together with a shared purpose: helping neighbors in need.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we collected and donated a substantial amount of food to PATH Partners, providing much-needed support to local individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. Every bag of groceries donated represents more than just food. It represents hope, compassion, and the knowledge that no one has to face difficult times alone.

Thank You to Our Community Partners

This year’s food drive would not have been possible without the support of our amazing partners. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Lazy Acres for generously donating thousands of reusable bags for the event. Their contribution made it easy for community members to participate and played a significant role in the overall success of the drive.

We are also honored to support PATH Partners, an organization dedicated to ending homelessness for individuals, families, and communities. Through outreach, housing assistance, supportive services, and long-term solutions, PATH Partners empowers people to regain stability and build brighter futures. Their work changes lives every day, and we are proud to play a small part in supporting their mission.

One of the most inspiring parts of this event was seeing our community rally together. Families, friends, volunteers, local businesses, and neighbors all contributed in meaningful ways. Whether you donated food, volunteered your time, helped spread the word, or simply encouraged others to participate, you helped make a real impact.

Supporting Cane Cares Mission

At Cane Cares, our mission has always been to strengthen our community by providing a hand up to those who need it most. Events like our Annual Community Food Drive remind us that meaningful change happens when people come together with compassion and a willingness to help.

To everyone who donated, volunteered, partnered with us, and supported this year’s food drive — thank you. Your generosity will help provide nourishment and hope to members of our community who need it most.

Together, we are proving that kindness is contagious and that, one act of generosity at a time, we can build a stronger, more caring San Diego.

The 5th Annual Cane Cares Golf Tournament will be held at Steele Canyon Golf Club on Friday, October 3rd from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm. Join us for a day of celebration and raising money for a great cause: helping to prevent homelessness in San Diego.

Last year, we raised nearly $20,000 to help prevent homelessness in San Diego, and our efforts were featured in the San Diego Union-Tribune for the second straight year. Half of the event proceeds were donated to Sister League of San Diego, who works to help unsheltered women find stability and permanent housing. In addition, another $6,000 of hardship assistance has been provided to a local San Diego family of four who were on the verge of becoming unsheltered. With your help, we can continue to help dozens and dozens of local families!

Help us continue our tradition of making a real impact on our community! Become a sponsor or register to play at canecaresgolf.org.

Cane Cares is proud to announce that we  delivered a $6,000 hardship grant to a local family in need who were on the verge of becoming unsheltered. The grant will go to help cover back rent and future rent, ensuring the family with two grade-school children can remain sheltered. Cane Cares would like to give a big thank you to Kristina Paine at Grant K-8 School, who helped bring to our attention to this opportunity.

We also extend our gratitude to our board member Jennifer Medeiros, who has been an incredible liaison between local school districts and Cane Cares. If you know any San Diego families in need—or any school counselors or principals who may be aware of such families—please reach out to us. We have additional funding available in 2025.

A heartfelt thank you to all Cane Cares supporters, donors, and the participants in our charity golf tournament. Your contributions made this vital assistance possible!

Cane Cares was honored to be featured at Sister League of San Diego’s annual “Rise Up!” fundraising gala in October! Sister League took full advantage of the impressive venue, Ultimate Skybox at Diamond View Tower, to host an elegant soiree that raised over $170,000. Those funds will help provide safe housing for women in difficult circumstances all around San Diego.

Modern Luxury Magazine recognized the event in an article celebrating the incredible impact on San Diego’s community. The magazine also highlighted Cane Cares founder Brian Cane’s role as one of the gala’s keynote speakers.

Cane Cares is deeply proud to help fund and support Sister League’s amazing mission—and we’re so glad Modern Luxury has recognized this worthy goal! We look forward to a long-lasting continued partnership in the years to come.

Our 4th Annual Cane Cares golf tournament was an even bigger success than last year—our deepest thanks to all of our donors and sponsors! We’re absolutely thrilled to have raised nearly $20,000 to prevent homelessness in San Diego.

In related news, we’re incredibly excited to see our Cane Cares Golf Tournament featured in the San Diego Union-Tribune for the second year in a row! The article is live on their website now, and will be going out in the paper edition soon.

We’re proud to have our charitable work acknowledged, highlighting our deep commitment to supporting the community. Our partnership with the Sister League of San Diego has strengthened our resolve, and with this recognition, we’re inspired to expand our efforts and positively impact even more lives.

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s 4th Annual Cane Cares Golf Tournament was another tremendous success! We raised a remarkable sum of nearly $20,000 to combat homelessness in San Diego. Our charity partner Sister League of San Diego will be receiving the first $10,000 of those funds. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, donors, and participants—your generosity and commitment made this event possible! The tournament brought together our amazing community of golfers and local businesses for a fantastic day on the green—not just for the love of the game, but to support a cause that makes a real difference in the lives of women in need across San Diego.

Sister League of San Diego is a local nonprofit dedicated to providing safe, affordable housing to local women. They provide a range of services, including emergency shelter, transitional housing, counseling, and advocacy programs, helping survivors rebuild their lives in a safe and supportive environment. By partnering with the Sister League, Cane Cares is helping to create a safer, more compassionate community for everyone. The funds raised at this year’s tournament will go a long way in providing critical resources and support to those who need it most. Stay tuned for updates following the impact of the funds raised from this year’s tournament!

We’re already looking forward to next year’s Cane Cares Golf Tournament—our FIFTH annual event—where we aim to raise even more to prevent homelessness in San Diego. Here’s to many more years of caring, community, and making a difference!

In June and July, Cane Cares’ $10,000 in funding for People Assisting The Homeless helped yet another 5 individuals with housing needs ranging from rental assistance to moving to utilities. In total, our funding for PATH this year has helped 31 people find housing, employment and stability.

Case manager Larry Major Jr. shared yet another moving and powerful example of how this funding benefits those who need it most: “A 52-year-old woman who had been living in her vehicle with her four children for almost a year…received help finding childcare and [employment]. The outreach case manager also assisted her in finding a unit for her family to move into. Cane Cares provided financial assistance for the first month’s rent and the security deposit for the new home.”

We’re overjoyed by the impact we’ve been able to make by partnering with PATH, and we look forward to working with them again in the future.

In the shorter term, Cane Cares is preparing for our annual charity golf tournament on September 20th, where we hope to raise an even more impressive round of funding to continue making a difference across San Diego. Register now to help us continue changing lives!

Funding from Cane Cares assisted in lifting another four people out of homelessness in May, raising the total number of people we’ve helped shelter this year to 26. Our continued partnership with PATH has proven to be one of our most powerful tools for helping those in need throughout San Diego.

Outreach Program Manager Julie Germain shared yet another heartwarming success story. A client who’d been homeless for years had his documents stolen, but PATH helped him replace them and complete paperwork to move into a housing unit, scheduled for April. “Unfortunately, the unit was not furnished, so the client was unable to move in promptly,” Germain said. “With Cane Cares’ funding, we were able to support the client in his new housing by providing a bed, couch, and dresser for his unit. Since receiving the furniture, the client has been staying in his unit and making it his own home.”

Whether our funding provides someone with a warm bed to sleep in, helps them pay for essential utilities, or assists with car repairs that could  get them to a new job, we feel truly honored to be making such a direct impact on the lives of so many in our local community. This is our calling, and we look forward to fulfilling it for many years to come.
