Philanthropy is a large part of our "raison d'être." We hold two fundraisers each year: a Silent Auction in December and a Fashion Show in May. All proceeds benefit local charities. Twice yearly, we distribute funds in order to recognize organizations in each of four parts of the Bay area: North Bay, Peninsula, East Bay and the city of San Francisco, reflecting our members' home communities. Members are invited to suggest organizations for consideration, and selections are determined by a secret ballot vote of the membership. The following organizations have received donations from us: |
