Our annual charity auction celebrated its 20th Anniversary this year!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 20th Anniversary of the Power of One Lunch on Friday, May 31st.

Together we celebrated a record-breaking year: lunch with Warren Buffett went for $4,567,888! All of these funds go to GLIDE’s innovative programs and essential services supporting thousands of our neighbors in need in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood.

We are grateful to the winner, Justin Sun, for his immense generosity, and to Mr. Buffett, for 20+ years of friendship and fundraising.

“It makes a difference. It translates into human beings finding that there is hope in life and that something better is there. The rest of the society may have given up on them, but GLIDE is going to give them a chance to find out what their real potential is.”
