The 32nd Annual Art Inspiring Hope Gala

New location! Pier 27, James R. Herman Cruise Terminal, San Francisco

Sponsorship information can be found HERE or by clicking the image below.

Every year, Okizu holds a fundraiser entitled, “Art Inspiring Hope: A Child’s Struggle with Cancer.” AIH began on a very small scale in 1995 and has grown into an extravagant gala drawing about 500 guests. This event makes it possible to provide programming for all Northern California children with cancer and their families at no charge.

The annual black-tie evening with a different, elaborate theme each year, features gourmet food, specialty drinks, silent and live auctions, and headline entertainment. Past performers have included Huey Lewis & The News, Sheryl Crow, The Robert Cray Band, The Doobie Brothers, The Dave Mason Band, and Smash Mouth.
