silent auction  from 5:30-7:15pm

Location:   El Rio   3158 Mission St (near Cesar Chavez) / San Francisco, CA  94110

Suggested donation: $20 ($10 - $50 sliding scale at the door - we know times are tough, donate what you can). Nobody turned away for lack of funds. 100% of the money raised goes to BCA! Please invite your friends.

BCA Mission Statement: Breast Cancer Action carries the voices of people affected by breast cancer to inspire and compel the changes necessary to end the breast cancer epidemic.

- A silent auction begins at 5:30pm and ends at 7:15pm. Please view the  Silent Auction page for items and services you can bid on.

- At 7:30pm, we will be auctioning dates off with 12 smart, sexy, fun men and women (of various ages, sexual orientations and ethnic backgrounds), all for charity. The starting bid is $50, but of course, we expect each person to go for hundreds so bring your high roller friends! Please view the Photos page & bios page  to learn more about the great volunteers who've agreed to dinner dates to help raise money for BCA.

- Music by DJ Betsy-La and songs by Angela Laflamme & Jillian Picazo

- MCs Ldog & Totos will keep you laughing as they encourage you to bid higher for the 12 hot dates

- Happy Hour is from 5-9pm. This is a cash only bar (ATM is located inside or could just bring lots of cash before you get there).

The winner of each date will select a gift certificate (the person who bids the most money for a date gets to pick first, second highest bid gets to pick second, etc.) for a romantic dinner for two at a wonderful local restaurant. Please view the Restaurant List page for more info.

Married or in a relationship? That's ok - come enjoy the show, bid on things for the silent auction and bring your single friends! Remember, just walking through the door with your donation helps BCA! When you donate the suggested donation, or more, you could win a gift certificate.

Last year we raised $6,624 for Breast Cancer Action! Thank you for being there and for your donations even if you could not attend. 

BCA VICTORY 2/9/09: General Mills announced that they are taking the rBGH dairy out of Yoplait yogurt, something that just four months ago they assured us was impossible.

Congratulations and thank you to everyone who wrote General Mills, made a contribution or took any action to support this effort.
 
Challenging assumptions. Inspiring change.
