Hundreds of hungry, happy people will descend upon Liberty Station’s finest restaurants Tuesday, May 3 to sample their tastiest wares during the third annual Bite of Point Loma event.
\nThe event is a major fundraiser for Point Loma High School, supplying many needed items to enrich the academic lives of students that are critically needed and not included in today’s lean school budgets.
\nFor $35 a person, patrons will be able to stroll the peaceful grounds of Liberty Station from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., socializing with others and sampling offerings from such favorites as Oggi’s Pizza & Brewhouse, Luna Grill, Fig Tree Cafe, Tender Greens, Panera Bread, Cold Stone Creamery, Slater’s 50\/50, Point Loma Tea and Vons in addition to newer eateries such as the Mess Hall and Cecilia’s Taqueria, located in the just-opened Public Market.
\nTickets for the event were still available at press time; however, the event has sold out each year, leaving late registrants unable to satisfy disappointed taste buds.
\nTickets can be purchased at biteofpointloma2016.mydagsite.com\/. $250 sponsorships and contributions of any dollar amount can also be made there. A link also allows persons to sponsor a specific PLHS teacher or staff member for $20. Students are also welcome at $20 per ticket.
\nOrganizers are hoping to raise $10,000 to continue funding items that directly affect students and their ability to complete projects and progress toward college entrance.
\nThe event is hosted by the school’s Pointer Association and has raised funds during its first two years for items such as a new sound system for the heavily used Performing Arts Center on campus; paint, tools, tables and canvases for art classes; recovery beds for the nurse’s office; musical instruments; science lab equipment and lab stools and equipment and even to replace outdated textbooks for advanced placement classes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
