The Distinguished Citizens Awards Gala is one of the most prestigious events in the Bay Area; it offers the philanthropic community an essential opportunity to support the Club’s civic and nonpartisan mission. We strive to cultivate a vibrant, informed and engaged citizenry equipped with the knowledge and tools to build a strong and thriving society. For the past seven years, the Gala has been held at our beautiful venue on the Embarcadero. Building on last year’s incredible success, we are expanding to accommodate a larger audience. In the fall of 2025, the event will take place at one of San Francisco’s iconic hotels. The evening will feature a reception with honorees, a lively awards ceremony with inspiring speeches, and a celebratory party.
