Retired San Diego Police Officer Matt Weathersby came up with this unique fundraising idea as a way of supporting local charities. In recent years the charity has been SPORTS for Exceptional Athletes. Over the sixteen years, the Guacamole Bowl has raised over $168,000 to support local programs for athletes with developmental disabilities.

According to Weathersby, over 2,000 pounds of fresh avocados donated this year by Henry Avocado Corporation are used by the various teams along with lots of onions, tomatoes, cilantro and jalapenos, provided by Jordano’s, to the competing teams. Matt added, "If you like good guacamole, and lots of it, then Balboa Park is the place to be".
