Please join SOHO to celebrate and pay tribute to those who embody the best in preservation in San Diego County.

The PIP awards are an opportunity for SOHO and fellow San Diegans to recognize the efforts of property owners and the work they do in preserving the historic resources of our region. People In Preservation encourages historic preservation and acknowledges that good preservation can be found in the restoration of the most modest residence to the grandest mansion; from our earliest structures to mid-century contributions, and include both the private and the public sector.

Bruce Coons, Executive Director of SOHO explains the importance of the People In Preservation awards, and its role for the past 30 years, "By honoring those who have invested in San Diego's future by preserving its historic sites, this event has raised awareness of the important and essential role that San Diegans play in the preservation of our region's heritage. It is these efforts like those that will be honored this year, that help maintain a sense of place and a unique identity in the San Diego region."

The event is open to the public; SOHO invites all San Diegans and lovers of San Diego's history to help celebrate the individuals, organizations, and projects whose dedication, determination and tireless efforts in the field of historic preservation are invaluable to preserving our county's heritage.

Ticket includes hors d'oeuvres and cocktail reception before the awards ceremony. Cocktail or business casual attire is suggested.
