Hand to Hand Fundraiser Gala

This nonprofit fundraiser gala was presented by Project Open Hand whose mission is to provide nutritious meals to adults with disabilities and critical illnesses. This meaningful event featured guest speakers, a small awards show, silent auction, live auction, raffle and a fund-a-need, all exceeding fundraising goals.

The elegant tablescapes and exquisite meals by local chefs created the perfect San Francisco gala fundraiser. BB Events planned this extraordinary event by completely transforming the space and creating purposeful elements for guests to create a deep connection to the Project Open Hand mission.
