What an incredible evening!

The 33rd Annual Brennan Award Dinner: A Night in New Orleans brought our community together for a beautiful celebration of generosity, service, and hope.

We are especially honored to celebrate Marie and Martin Murphy, recipients of the Brennan Award, and the Heffernan Foundation and Heffernan Insurance Brokers, recipients of the Corporate Service Award. Their commitment reflects the spirit of service at the heart of the St. Vincent de Paul Society of San Francisco.

Throughout the evening, one message came through clearly: this work is possible because of you.

From wonderful music and great food to spirited bidding and meaningful stories, it was a memorable celebration of the people who make our work possible. Every ticket, sponsorship, bid, raffle ticket, and gift helps SVDP-SF provide shelter, safety, and support to our neighbors in need.

Thank you for being the light!
