“We at XYZ are proud to support the Corps because they offer young adults the opportunity to improve the environment while they work to obtain their high school diploma, gain full time employment or enroll in higher education. Through education and job skills training, they are able to help themselves while at the same time help the local environment. SFCC was green before green was cool. It’s our honor to be a presenting sponsor at the Future Hard at Work Reception,” said Steve Waterloo, CEO of XYZ Graphics.
The festive evening will include epicurean delights by Melon’s Catering and wine tasting by Jessup’s Cellars. Ten dollar raffle tickets and door prizes will add to the fun of the evening with prizes of $500 cash, a signed Giants Jersey and two game tickets, a hotel stay at the Stanford Court Renaissance, Dinner for two at Boulevard, a family membership to the de Young Museum with $25 gift certificates to the de Young Café and de Young Gift Shop, two tickets for year’s entrance to the Great American Music Hall and more surprises.
“The Future. Hard At Work,” the theme and logo that were developed pro bono by Venable Bell & Partners, is indicative of the programmatic work of the San Francisco Conservation Corps and will be highlighted at the reception as Corpsmembers will also be thereto share their experiences.
“The San Francisco Conservation Corps is all about work, sun up to sun down, day in and day out; so it’s great when we gather once a year to have fun for the Corps staff and Corpsmembers to take stock of their great work and celebrate with the community,” said Bob Molineaux of Venables Bell & Partners, Co-Chair of the Fund Development Committee. He added, “With the Corps greening San Francisco’s public spaces and achieving yearly stats such as diverting 221 tons from our landfills, providing professional services to over 100 large scale events with tens of thousands of people, planting and creating 22 community gardens and playgrounds and participating in over 11,000 hours of education to help Corpsmembers get a high school diploma that had been unattainable for various life challenging reasons, it’s important to stop and breathe and relish our accomplishments with our partners and the community.”
