A Celebration of Community and Philanthropy in the Bay Area

Date: Thursday, October 12, 6:00pm-10:00pm

Location: Terra Gallery, 511 Harrison Street, San Francisco, CA 

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.


Presented in partnership with the San Francisco Business Times at the Terra Gallery, the celebration will recognize three honorees for their exceptional commitment and dedication to making a positive impact in our community through service, advocacy, and collaboration. Proceeds will benefit St. Anthony's mission to feed, heal, shelter, clothe, lift the spirits of people in need, and to create a society in which all persons flourish.
