Benefiting

Edgewood Center for Children and Families: transforming lives and helping children and families in crisis.

The Edgewood Hope Ball raises crucial funding to support more than 5,000 of the San Francisco Bay Area's children and families, who struggle with issues of abuse, neglect, and crisis. The gala will feature silent and live auctions, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. Our corporate sponsors and benefactors will also be invited to a private reception prior to the event.
