A special part of the evening is the presentation of our Leadership in Philanthropy Award. The award recognizes individuals who have attained great success in their field while also being a role model for giving back.  This year’s honoree is Sheila Lirio Marcelo, Founder and CEO of Care.com.

In addition to celebrating philanthropy, our gala presents key networking opportunities and provides exposure to almost 500 business, civic and community leaders. This event also features an exclusive auction and has included items from Amy Tan, Jeremy Lin, Jerry Yang and more.
