San Francisco Art Show Fundraiser
Join us February 27th at Space Gallery for art, cocktails, and live music to help us raise money for the non-profit, Camfed. Art donations from talented, local San Francisco artists will be auctioned off from 8-10pm and 100% of the sales will go directly to Camfed.
The goal of the organization is to empower girls in Africa by using a community-based, holistic approach to long-term education, small business training, and HIV prevention. Since 1993, Camfed has improved the educational opportunities for 645,400 children, provided scholarships for 39,330 girls to go to high school, trained 2,677 teacher mentors and helped 609 young women go to college.
