The San Diego Book Awards Association is a volunteer organization dedicated to enriching the large, diverse, and vibrant literary community of the nation’s third largest county. Founded in 1994, the SDBAA honors the best published books and unpublished manuscripts by San Diego County residents each year. Winning authors report that receiving a San Diego Book Award boosts sales of their books, and several winners of their unpublished novel, memoir, and poetry chapbook competitions have said that receiving a San Diego Book Award played an instrumental role in their later securing a publisher for their work.
A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, the SDBAA promotes literacy in San Diego County schools through the Read-4-Fun program. Specially designed for fifth graders—the grade in which reading for pleasure dramatically declines—Read-4-Fun gives away approximately 2,500 books a year to student readers. For many of these children, the books they receive through Read-4-Fun are the first books they have ever owned.

Several contributors to the new Heart of a Woman in Business book showed up in force to support a special charity event October 10 to benefit Dress for Success San Diego.
The lively outdoor evening event, Check Your Bag at the Door, was hosted by Lisa Knight, owner of Orange Salon & Spa in Leucadia, California. Admission was free for those bringing donations of handbags stuffed with toiletries, accessories and necessities for a working woman.

This visit is the first link in a chain of services devoted to social and economic development, assuring clients that they have support and encouragement throughout their journey to self-sufficiency.
Dress for Success San Diego has served over 4500 local women since 1998, referred from over 60 local human service agencies and job-readiness programs. Our clients’ success is made possible through the generosity of our friends in the community. Your donations will have an immediate impact on the lives of deserving women who have overcome tremendous adversity on their journey to self-sufficiency.
