"Our Honored Speaker for this special 10th Anniversary event is Condoleezza Rice,
former U.S. Secretary of State. Inspired by her parents, who were both educators,
Dr. Rice is endowed with a love of learning. Her education empowered her to overcome
prejudice in segregated Birmingham, Alabama, excel academically to become the
Provost of Stanford University, and later to become one of the most influential
women in Washington. Her inspirational story is a shining example of how a
commitment to education can open the pathway to an extraordinary life. 

This annual luncheon is Gateway’s most important fundraising event and provides
direct support for teachers and in-classroom enhancements that make for
award-winning programs. Over 500 of the Bay Area’s prominent business people,
education advocates, and civic leaders attend. 

Please consider commemorating this milestone year by purchasing a table at the
$10,000 level—10 for 10! Table sponsorship is also available at the $5,000 and
$2,000 levels (invitations will be sent this August). We will acknowledge the
generous support and commitment to public education of all Table Sponsors in the
invitation and program. Sponsors at the $2,000 level and above will receive a signed
copy of Dr. Rice’s memoir, sponsors at the $5,000 level and above will also receive
one for each guest at their table, and sponsors at the $10,000 level will be given
an intimate photo opportunity with Condoleezza Rice before lunch. 

We encourage you to sponsor a table, invite friends to join you at a table, or
simply buy a ticket and come. We hope you will join us in supporting quality public
education in San Francisco."
