In 2025, The Foundation raised $58,000 at Invest in Success to help support basic needs assistance for students.

The Miramar College Foundation will celebrate its flagship fundraiser, Invest in Success, on Friday, September 25, from 4 to 8 p.m., at Tom Ham’s Lighthouse on Harbor Island. The inspiring evening brings together leaders in philanthropy, business, and civic life to hear firsthand from students whose lives have been transformed by their support.

The Miramar College Foundation collaborates with San Diego Miramar College to empower students to overcome barriers to achieve their educational goals and to thrive in their future lives. This year’s event will raise funds for basic needs assistance, helping to ensure students facing food or housing insecurity are able to pursue their education and be successful. The Foundation raised $58,000 at Invest in Success in 2025.
