2008 San Francisco Leadership Luncheon

Video Produced by Carlton Colbert ’97, Colbert Productions

Thank you to all who supported and attended the 2008 San Francisco Leadership Luncheon: Celebrating the Summer Search Family.  It was a truly spectacular event, with a total of 539 friends and family (new and old!) gathered at the Four Seasons Hotel on May 8, 2008.  Together, we raised a grand total of $490,000 to support low-income, high-potential students throughout the Bay Area.

Follow this link to watch Levar Smith (Alumnus ’96) talk about how he has drawn on the long-term investment Summer Search made in him in order to find success.  Please share his inspirational words with anyone who was not able to join us.

Your support makes it possible for Summer Search to invest in the leadership potential of more students like Levar in the Bay Area  -- our goal is to serve 850 students annually by 2012!

Learn more about ways to give to the Summer Search family!
