Thank you for joining us at Hearts in SF, the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation’s annual fundraising gala in support of Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (ZSFG).
A special evening to celebrate our city’s outstanding public hospital, Hearts in SF featured a cocktail reception, a seated dinner, compelling programming, inspirational awardees, top-notch entertainment, and an auction of the iconic Heart sculptures.
There’s still time to donate and support a world-class hospital that cares for us all.
