Girls in Tech Holiday Soiree & The Winner of Girl Up Fundraising Raffle
The San Francisco Chapter of Girls in Tech rang in December on Wednesday night with their annual Holiday Mixer. As always, just social fun, eats and cocktails to celebrate the great year we’ve had, and ring in the holidays! This year, we were also throwing the bash to benefit Girl Up, one of our partners, whose work for the world’s hardest-to-reach adolescent girls we admire so much. We were able to raise well over $300 in donations, thanks to the generous support of those who attended and, either, bought raffle tickets or simply made a voluntary donation. So, thank you all!
And the winners were…
Our main raffle prize – A Girl Up inspired bracelet, designed by Ivanka Trump and with all proceeds going to Girl Up – was won by:

The second prize winners won an entrance to two events of their choice in GIT San Francisco’s 2011 calendar! Those winners were:
1. Sheila Lustiva
2. Chris Linn
It was a great way to round off our fabulous year at Girls in Tech — With our many great events from fireside chats with Evan Williams and Brian Solis, to our first Vator.tv/Girls in Tech AMPLIFY Business Pitch Conference & Competition and socializing and making connections, like the many that were made this Wednesday night!
Big thanks to the staff at 5A5 Steakhouse, our Girl in Tech volunteers who helped organize and run the event while we were there, and…
To our prize winners — and everyone out there — who came to celebrate with us & donated to UN’s Girl Up — Thank you!
