In late February the Charity Committee selected the SDPHC charities for 2008. These recommendations were approved by the general membership on March 12, 2008. The first and second places selections were so close that it was decided that they would share the money raised at the Anniversary Party. These Charities are San Diego Adaptive Sports and the San Diego Rescue Mission. The third place charity, Angel Faces, will receive monies raised at the Pub Crawl. The fourth place charity was the YMCA transitional home for teenagers. They will benefit from an event to be decided later.

Saturday March 29th 2008, Oceanside Harbor Grab your best SDPHC tropical garb and Join the San Diego Parrot Head Club as we partner with Ford San Diego Ironman to support the Challenged Athletes Foundation. We have been approached by the Ford Ironman race to participate in helping athletes as they transition from one stage to another. We need 50 volunteers; currently we have approximately 31. San Diego Iron Man will also donate $500 to the Charity of our choice if we have 50 volunteers. This has the potential to be as fun and fulfilling as the Rock And Roll Marathon.
