On Saturday, October 8, members of the local LGBTQ community gathered for the 36th Annual HRC San Francisco Bay Area Dinner & Auction, which celebrated the strides HRC has made toward achieving equality this past year, while preparing for the work ahead.
Co-chairs Molly Herzig and Gary Hilbert opened the program by welcoming members and guests and thanking supporters at the event’s venue, the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero Center. HRC’s incoming president Kelley Robinson delivered the keynote address in her first official duty after assuming the reins to lead the organization going forward.
The Charles M. Holmes Award was presented posthumously to honor the memory of Kelly Herrick, a longtime HRC San Francisco steering committee member and dedicated volunteer. Also honored was the cast of Billy Eichner’s new movie Bros.
Among those providing entertainment for the evening were internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter VINCINT, LGBTQ+ community comedian Dana Goldberg leading the live auction, and DJ Nico Craig spinning tunes at the After Party, hosted by Alaska Airlines.
In honor of the annual HRC/SF gala, San Francisco City Hall was lit in the organization’s blue and yellow colors.
Special thanks were expressed to HRC’s National Partners based in Northern California: Apple, Chevron, Doordash, Google, Lyft, TPG, PayPal, and Ross.
