Last Wednesday at the Ritz-Carlton, philanthropists, techies, and financial professionals gathered with teachers and city officials to support the San Francisco Education Fund. At the Back to School Bright Futures Gala, Glady Thacher was honored. Thacher founded the fund in 1979 as a way of connecting the community to the public school system. Over the years, the nonprofit has donated more than $7 million to education grants. State Senator Scott Wiener and the CEO of Xoom, John Kunze, were a few of the significant figures who joined in on the fun.
