This organization creates yarn beanies of various styles for children battling cancer. They teach you how to crochet and complete the beanies, take your picture and place it in a care-package that is given to one of these children. Incredibly meaningful experience and fun!
Thanks to Holly and the entire Magic Yarn Project team for coming to San Diego and letting us volunteer and support!

A fixture in the San Diego music scene for over a decade, Latin-American singer-songwriter Amanda Portela invites you to an evening of timeless romance.
Drawing from her Colombian and Portuguese heritage and her formative years in South America, Portela delivers a performance that is as global as it is deeply personal.
Known for a "sultry, haunting croon" that captures the essence of longing, she curates a journey through the most beloved melodies of the Latin songbook.
From the soul-stirring bolero "Sabor a Mí" to cinematic arrangements of classic Latin hits, the show breathes new life into the music of devotion.
For this special presentation, Portela is joined by an elite ensemble of San Diego’s finest musicians:
Guitars & Vocals: Joe Amato, Israel Maldonado, and Giovanni Mejia
Bass & Vocals: Omar López
Trumpet & Vocals: Bill Caballero
Percussion & Vocals: Dante Loaiza and David Castañeda
Together, they create a "moody, cinematic" soundscape that blends the sophistication of Jazz with the raw passion of Latin folklore.
Whether you are a lifelong fan of Spanish-language classics or discovering them for the first time, Portela’s powerful and unique delivery promises a spellbinding atmosphere that lingers long after the final note.
