San Francisco CIO Community
Executive Summit

Governing Body members host this dinner for attendees to launch the event with an evening of peer networking.

Additionally, attendees will have the option to make Capes for Kids which will then be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities Bay Area to distribute to children facing a first-time hospital stay.

Ronald McDonald House Charities Bay Area's mission is simple: be there for sick kids and their families, providing comfort and support when and where they need it most. Their objectives are clear: ease the emotional and financial burden families endure. For 40 years, RMHC Bay Area has been partnering with the region’s children’s healthcare providers to keep families together and near the medical care their ill or injured children need, when they need it most. Today, RMHC Bay Area serves critically ill children through a Ronald McDonald House Charity program network that provides housing, meals, and psychosocial support inside or nearby Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford and UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals in San Francisco and Oakland.
