PILF is happy to report that the event - including the live auction (led by Richard Pio Rodo's mesmerizing performance as auctioneer), the silent auction, registration, sponsorships, and donations - raised nearly $42,000!
Coupled with some last-minute donation pledges, and the approximately $7000 that was raised at the Summer Donate-a-Day reception, PILF reached its goal of raising $50,000! PILF was honored by the presence of honoree Elizabeth Cabraser, inspired by the outpouring of generosity from our attendees, and encouraged by the enthusiasm and support of the entire USF community.
Thank you to all who were part of the event: attendees, volunteers, donors and sponsors. The 2007 Auction would not have been possible without you. Please make sure to sign up for the email lists to keep informed about the grants and the 2008 auction.
