Celebrate Women at Petit Crenn and the SF Symphony
An evening of celebration, starring women and suffragettes! The winning bidder and four friends will join host Margaret Lynch to enjoy a delectable dinner at Petit Crenn, the exceptional restaurant owned and run by the only female American chef to ever win three Michelin stars, Dominique Crenn. Tucked into the edge of Hayes Valley, Petit Crenn is just one chain of the living connection between Chef Dominique and her home in the French region of Brittany. Inspired by Northern California's dramatic coast, the seafood-forward tasting menu is prepared in an open kitchen anchored by a wood-fired grill.
Next, you’ll skip off to the San Francisco Symphony, which will feature the all-female vocal Lorelei Ensemble. In your LOGE seats, ideal for musical performances, you will be treated to the world premiere of folk/rock/classical mixologist Julia Wolfe’s profound new work Her Story, a San Francisco Symphony commission inspired by the 100-year anniversary of the ratification of women’s suffrage in the United States. Nicaraguan-born conductor Giancarlo Guerrero and soloist Aaron Diehl make their San Francisco Symphony debuts in a program that opens with a virtuosic, one-movement piano concerto by pioneering American composer Florence Price, who in the 1930s became the first African-American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer. With remarkable lyrical sweep and folk and spiritual accents, Price’s inventive concerto is testament to a composer who infused her music with a range of influences to find a voice that was all her own. This celebration of the successes and influence of women in society, across ages and genres, is not to be missed.

Guaranteed Parking for a Year at the Nueva Hillsborough Campus
Now, this one is truly priceless. It’s the first day of school, and you weave your way through all the cars in the parking lot on your way to your very own, personally assigned parking space on the Hillsborough campus. You think you’ve got it pretty good, but then it’s Grandparents' and Special Friends' Day, and instead of bringing your parents to school a half hour early to try to find a spot, you find yourself arriving on time and cruising directly into your reserved personal parking space, always waiting for you.
Fast forward to holiday concerts, culmination nights, parent-teacher conferences, and you realize you’ve won the golden ticket. And your reward is way better than a lifetime’s supply of chocolate. It’s the kind of rare parental peace of mind that comes from not having to worry about one more thing for an entire academic year.
The winning bidder can choose a reserved spot in either the south lot or the parking under the J building AND can choose to relocate to a spot in the Lower School lot once construction is completed.
Parking is for August 2020 through June 2021.
