  Join us for an exceptional evening of philanthropy, fine wine/spirits, and curated experiences at the Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel in Menlo Park. In the wake of the devastating fires that have swept through Los Angeles, our hearts go out to those affected. Now, more than ever, our community needs to come together—not just to support, but to act jointly for an important cause.

  This exclusive, invitation-only gathering will bring together the most influential minds of Silicon Valley for an evening offering a rare opportunity to connect with key leaders, visionaries, and change makers—all united for a great cause. The program will feature a special guest, who has personally experienced the devastation, to give a profound and moving perspective on the crisis. With live performances, a celebrated DJ, and an atmosphere of refined elegance, this will be a night to remember.

  100% of net proceeds will benefit the following 501(c)(3) organizations: California Community Foundation and Pasadena Humane Society, ensuring direct relief to those in urgent need.

  Cocktail attire is required.
