Happening at Curry
Thank you for supporting the 2021
Curry Senior Center Annual Gala, 49 year’s in 49 square miles.
The event was a rousing success, having raised over $110,000 for low-income, San Francisco older adults in need. We also want to thank Diane Dwyer, Bubba Paris, Gala Chair, Shirley Quitugua, and the entire Gala Committee for making the event special for all of us.
Thank you to our Gala Sponsors
