Ferry Building
San Francisco, California
The glassybaby Light the Bay Event was held at the Ferry Building in San Francisco. Approximately 1,000 people lit up the bay with their beautiful glassybabys. The nonprofit who could rally the most people to attend the event would win the top prize of $55,555.55. While we didn’t win 1st place, the Jacqueline Rush Foundation came in 6th with 73 people attending, beating out the groups from American Cancer Society and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society among others. Thank you to everyone who came out in support of the foundation. Your continued support is helping us get the word out and saving lives.
A uniquely beautiful sunset for San Francisco Public Montessori School on September 22nd, 2016, when their community came together at the San Francisco Ferry Building to claim victory in the glassybaby light the bay contest earning $55,555 in one beautiful moment.
Thank you to all the wonderful people who came and lit up the bay with a special-edition glassybaby to celebrate $5 million in giving, and congratulations San Francisco Public Montessori School, who rallied a team of 216 to support their mission: to bring the benefits of individuated academic attention usually reserved for private schools to students in low income public schools.
