The Diamond Ball at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel for Companion Animals
Held on Saturday, November 8, 2014, the mission of The Diamond Ball is to raise funds for animal charities that save lives. The beneficiary of the 2014 gala is the Wounded Veterans Initiative of Canine Companions for Independence (CCI).

Held over the Veteran's Day Weekend (Saturday, November 8), The Diamond Ball tickets are $250 per person.

The evening includes a silent and live auction, a four-course dinner presented by Executive Chef Pedro Contreras, as well as music and dancing.

The evening also includes The Diamond Drop, an opportunity where guests can donate gems and jewelry in support of the cause. An on-site jeweler provides guests with an appraisal and then the jewels are transformed into an official donation.

Every donation valued for $1,000 or more is entered to win the Opportunity Drawing that includes round-trip airfare for two, $1,000 spending money and a five-night stay one of ten Ritz-Carlton Hotels & Resorts including, Bachelor Gulch, Cancun, Grand Cayman, Half Moon Bay, Kapalua, Key Biscayne, Laguna Niguel, Lake Tahoe, New York City and San Francisco.
