One week away. 🥂

One Big Class Reunion is next Friday, and tickets are still available! We want every era of LeadSGF in the room on June 5th.

This year, we're leaning all the way into the reunion vibes to celebrate our 40th Anniversary. Think walls of photos and memorabilia spanning four decades, a full dinner, cheering on another program year of graduates, and finding out who takes home the Kenworthy and Visionary Volunteer awards. Plus, the class competition is back, and there's a trophy on the line, and an extra special class competition fundraiser this year, too!

Every class. One big night to celebrate. Save your seat now: bit.ly/OBCR2026
