One Water Systems Backs Helen Woodward’s Spring Fling Gala
San Diego’s water filtration leader joins hands with one of the region’s most beloved animal welfare centers to support a night of giving, gourmet fare, and community care. On a warm evening in June, as the sun dipped over the California horizon, the grounds of the Helen Woodward Animal Center lit up with laughter, music, and the soft echo of paws on polished floors. The annual Spring Fling Gala, themed this year as “Bark to the Future,” brought together hundreds of supporters, local businesses, and philanthropists for a cause rooted in compassion—caring for animals and creating homes for them.
Among the standout supporters of the night was One Water Systems, a San Diego–based provider of eco-friendly, whole-house water filtration solutions. Their presence wasn’t just another name on a banner—it was a meaningful expression of what the company stands for: health, sustainability, and community connection.
“It’s an honor to support an organization like Helen Woodward that leads with compassion and service,” said Kevin, spokesperson for One Water Systems. “At the heart of both our missions is a belief in better living—for people, animals, and the environment.”
The Spring Fling Gala, held on June 14, 2025, is one of Southern California’s most anticipated charitable events. Over the years, it has become more than a fundraiser—it’s a community tradition. The gala features some of San Diego’s finest restaurants, live music, auctions, and a palpable energy that celebrates not just animal rescue, but the people who make it possible.
This year’s futuristic theme was a playful nod to optimism, blending nostalgia and imagination while raising crucial funds for the center’s adoption programs, medical care, and educational outreach. Helen Woodward Animal Center, known for its motto “people helping animals and animals helping people,” has long been a cornerstone of humane work in the region.
For One Water Systems, the decision to sponsor the event was a natural one.
As a local business, they’ve built their reputation on helping families across San Diego County achieve cleaner, safer water—not through bottled alternatives, but through environmentally responsible, salt-free filtration systems. Their approach not only improves household health but reduces plastic waste, aligning with broader environmental goals.
The gala provided an ideal platform to engage with residents and community leaders who share a mutual interest in sustainability, wellness, and social responsibility. Attendees had the chance to learn more about One Water Systems’ latest summer initiatives, including exclusive offers and new eco-friendly features.
But beyond the business benefits, the evening was about something deeper: connecting purpose to practice. Supporting a center like Helen Woodward goes beyond brand visibility. It’s about investing in a better world—where animals are protected, homes are healthier, and businesses serve something greater than their bottom line.
“When we talk about community impact, we don’t just mean where our systems are installed,” Kevin explained. “We mean where our hearts are invested. Helen Woodward Animal Center does remarkable work, and we’re proud to be a small part of their story.”
Founded to rescue and rehome animals, Helen Woodward Animal Center has evolved into a multifaceted nonprofit that offers educational programs, pet therapy, disaster relief, and international animal transport. Events like the Spring Fling are critical to sustaining these efforts, particularly as demand for rescue services and pet adoption continues to grow.
One Water Systems‘ involvement also points to a larger trend—where local businesses are becoming community builders, not just service providers. Their partnership with platforms like MyCommunity. Today (MYCT) supports this vision. MYCT is a mobile-first engagement platform that helps small businesses connect with local audiences through dynamic tools—amplifying both reach and impact.
As the final guests left the gala under a canopy of lights, full from gourmet tastings and full-hearted from the stories they heard, the sense was clear: it wasn’t just a night of giving. It was a night that reminded everyone what giving makes possible.
