DU Day of Service

Register Now: DU Global Day of Service is July 30th

The SF-Marin Food Bank is on a mission to end hunger in San Francisco and Marin. With over 100,000 meals worth of food going out each day, they rely on the support of volunteers to serve the community.

Come help out at the SF-Marin Food Bank, then join us for happy hour!

Help other volunteers sort and pack food donations at the food bank, then head over to Magnolia Brewing Company, just a couple blocks away, for happy hour. Food will be courtesy of DU but we're on our own for drinks.

Date: Saturday, July 30th
Time: 12:30 - 3:30 at the food bank (facebook), happy hour starting at 4 (facebook)
Where: SF-Marin Food Bank, 900 Pennsylvania Ave, SF, 94107 (map)
             Magnolia Brewing Company, 2505 3rd St, SF, 94107 (map)

Even if you can't make the food bank, please join for happy hour afterwards!

Looking for Volunteers

We're looking to grow the local alumni leadership group! Brian Elizardi, Director of Alumni Relations at DU, will be in town for the Giants game this month. He and I would love to meet with anyone interested in helping make this chapter stronger and better. The time commitment for volunteers is minimal but the impact can be huge! If you want to get more involved, just reply to this email - couldn't be easier.

Cheers,

DU Day at the Giants | June 25

Last year, we had over 50 alumni, family, and friends out for a great event that included pre-game dinner and drinks and tickets to the Giants vs the Rockies. Given how quickly the event sold out last year, we've expanded the offering to 100 tickets this year. Once again, we'll be hosting dinner and drinks pre-game on the Virgin America Flight Deck and will have club level tickets. Ticket information for the June 25 event will be coming soon; when you see it, act quickly to make sure you can join what is sure to be another fantastic evening!
