Every year, the Global Shapers Hub of San Francisco tackle one or more projects to make a positive impact on San Francisco. On October 2, 2016, the Hub hosted Project Pitch Day to pitch the projects that are currently underway to our community as a call to action to contribute time, resources, and ideas to the projects. Last year, we hosted a fundraiser gala called Party at the Palace that raises $70k+ for 7 San Francisco education non-profits. This year, we are hosting another Party at the Palace, but with an even larger vision and fundraising goals.
