Jeffery Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille will provide catering and the evening's festivities will include silent and live auctions, an opportunity drawing, entertainment and dancing.

We have a variety of exciting auction items including autographed sports memorabilia that will be showcased at the Barry's lovely estate; we are extremely grateful for their support in hosting our event." The Jammers were introduced to the foster teens of San Pasqual Academy several years ago and have been instrumental in providing academic scholarships, Thanksgiving and Christmas programs, group outings to Charger games, one-on-one mentoring in addition to the construction of a home football field. The cost to attend Jammin Under the Stars is $200.00 per person and must be purchased prior to July 8, 2011 at www.jammerfoundation.org or Rob Powell at [email protected].

Quentin and his wife Alicia devote much of their time and talent to their nonprofit organization. The Jammer Family Foundation philosophy embraces the belief that all children should be given equal opportunity to excel in athletics as well as academics, regardless of their resources. Their ultimate goal is to establish a solid support system to develop young leaders that will sustain a prosperous community. The Jammer Family Foundation engages in a wide variety of worthy causes in the San Diego community, including Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), United Way, and the Boys and Girls Clubs.
