Thank you to our dedicated group of volunteers made up of many friends of TGF, members of Bridges, Tim's House and San Jose State University Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity (PIKES).

This year's Nancy Harris Volunteer of the Year recognition went to Teresa Bowerman, now a two-time winner of this award. She was honored because of her expert solicitation of auction items, and without her we wouldn't have many of the amazing items available. She it truly talented, and we are fortunate to have her support.

We'd like to also recognize a few of our volunteers who took a lead role in the Gala:

*This year the PIKES volunteers outsold last years' group in raffle ticket sales! The bar is raised again for next year!
*A special thanks to Derek Ytreeide and the crew from Riverview Systems Group, Inc. who manage to out-do themselves year-after-year with top of the line audio and visual services.
*A talented and creative friend of the Foundation, Anthony Berk, has produced our Gala videos the last two years, and manages our facebook page.
*Alexander Wang our event photographer.
*Eric Snyder our event emcee and Mike Nevin, Karen Francone, and Steve Bowerman our event auctioneers.
*Shawna, Dave, and Ward who coordinate the Annual Croquet (or bowling!) Tournament.
*Lisa Baffi who has been our Event Manager during the last five Galas works wonders behind-the-scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly.

And thank you to many more who helped with auction set-up, decorations, check-in, raffle ticket sales, wine sales, runners, valets, check-out, data entry and more! Your willing spirits are inspirational!
