#WeLoveSF Annual Gala Benefits Presidio Bay Foundation

On Thursday October 17, Presidio Bay Ventures, a leading San Francisco-based developer, hosted the second annual #WeLoveSF Charity Gala at the prestigious Saint Joseph’s Art Society in San Francisco. In true San Francisco style, the black-tie affair had a playful twist—sneakers were the night’s recommended footwear. 

With Andrew Boos as the emcee, the evening dazzled guests with exciting live performances by singer Franc D’Ambrosio, the longest-running cast member of Phantom of the Opera, soulful jazz by Howard Wiley & His Jazz Band, and was headlined by DJ Bisi. The #WeLoveSF campaign, co-founded by Cassidy Zerrer and Presidio Bay’s Founder and Managing Principal Cyrus Sanandaji, is a civic pride initiative aiming to redefine San Francisco’s image by sharing positive experiences of the city we all love, and fostering a message of optimism.

This glamorous event raised over $160,000 to support the Presidio Bay Foundation’s mission of empowering underserved communities through educational, career and partnership opportunities in commercial real estate. This was made possible through the generous support and sponsorship of Affinius, Amenify, Associate Capital, BCCI Construction, Build Group, CBRE, Citizens Bank, DivcoWest, Eastdil Secured, Prologis, Raise, Reuben, Junius & Rose, and SHVO, as well as contributions from beloved local favorites including Andytown Coffee Roasters, Burke and Black, Gelateria di Che Fico, El Norteno Taco Truck, FutureBars, CASK, Barebottle, and a live art collaboration between Apexer and Timbuk2.
