Welcome to the Friendraiser Celebration hosted by the University of San Francisco's Leo McCarthy Center.

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,930
It's a pleasure to see all of you here. This is our inaugural event.

3
00:00:12,990 --> 00:00:18,630
First time ever doing this. When I thought about doing this, we wanted to do this in the community.

4
00:00:19,020 --> 00:00:22,190
The Don Fisher clubhouse was the first spot that we thought of.

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:32,470
I know we call it a Friendraiser, but it's been so long since we've seen each other in person that it's also a

6
00:00:32,740 --> 00:00:38,230
regathering and reunion of old friends and McCarthy Center is not just a center.

7
00:00:38,470 --> 00:00:44,860
It's a community building space where people can come together, exchange their ideas,

8
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:50,450
exchange their opinions, and that is the space that we want to continue to support.

9
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:53,800
We thank you for this award. It's really a pleasure and an honor.

10
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:57,830
She loves this community and any chance she can.

11
00:00:57,850 --> 00:01:06,819
She's helped people and served people. I'm so excited of what we're going to eventually do and I hope we can continue to have

12
00:01:06,820 --> 00:01:13,270
this relationship with USF. In order for us to start making real change in this world.

13
00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:19,360
It starts with learning how to build relationships, but more importantly, building with yourself.
