2009 San Francisco Leadership Luncheon

Video Produced by Carlton Colbert ’97, Colbert Productions

From all of us at Summer Search, we thank everyone who celebrated with us at our largest ever San Francisco Leadership Luncheon! Your support for this event helped us raise $463,688 to date, which will ensure that our students continue to receive the life-changing mentoring and summer experiential education opportunities that are at the heart of our unique program.

We invite you to watch highlights from the luncheon and share them with a friend. Click on the links to view:

• Uyen Nguyen’s ’94 inspirational speech
• Niles Lichtenstein's '01 spoken word performance
• Nargees’ '10 moving story
• and our tribute to chairman of the board, Bob Friend, whose unwavering commitment exemplifies the long-term support that Summer Search offers to our students.

It is this type of dedication, from both our students and supporters, which has enabled Summer Search to provide transformative opportunities to thousands of Bay Area students since 1991.

We hope you to continue to lead the way with Summer Search by learning about the many ways to stay involved, whether it’s by spreading the word about Summer Search to your friends and family, or celebrating the successes of our students at a future event. Also, we hope you will consider helping us reach the incredible $100,000 matching gift challenge made by longtime supporters Annikka Berridge and Brickyard Family Fund, and John and Barbara Osterweis.

To our extended Summer Search family, thank you for leading the way in transforming the lives of so many remarkable students, and we look forward to celebrating their successes with you once again next year.

With our deepest appreciation,

Kirby Walker, Jeff O’Neill and Jeff Rosenthal
