We graciously invite you to the 2nd Annual LEADING THE WAY awards benefit gala, recognizing outstanding leadership to make the Bay Area a better place for all. Join us for a special memorable evening as we honor individuals and organizations who have made a lasting impact in San Francisco while enjoying delicious cuisine, cocktails, guest testimonials, entertainment, and the beautiful artwork of the Terra Gallery.
