Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Center (TEL HI) holds its annual fundraiser event, “A Taste of TEL HI,” at Oracle Park on May 19, 2022. Dubbed “Back In the Swing of Things,” this is an important occasion to benefit educational programs for children as well as the many programs TEL HI provides every day in direct services to children, seniors, and families.

The center serves over 1,000 people a day whose ages range from three months to 100 years and represent a wide range of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. Through its long local history, TEL HI has been operating on the frontline, lending support in major disasters including the Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906, the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the recent Covid-19 pandemic.

The SF Giants’ esteemed announcer Renel Brooks-Moon serves as emcee and Franco Finn, the animated hype man for the Golden State Warriors, is the evening’s auctioneer. Mayor London Breed will be a featured speaker and other special appearances by San Francisco dignitaries will highlight the evening.

Guests will have a chance to win items in the silent and live auctions, including:

“After two years of virtual events, we are excited to host our annual gala in person again,” said Nestor L. Fernandez II, CEO and Executive Director of TEL HI. “And it couldn’t come at a better time for the children in our community.

There is a big need to provide educational support now that schools have reopened. Our goal is to raise funds for academic tutoring, as well as STEM programs that will help students do well in math and science, which are areas we find students are struggling with the most after two years of virtual classes. Additionally, it will be amazing to gather in-person again as a community, celebrate and enjoy each other’s company.”

The mission of TEL HI is to promote stability for families and children, to build skills and self-worth to help them succeed, and to support seniors so they may stay vital and independent. Free and low-cost programs such as early child care, pre- and after-school programs, summer camps and senior programs are provided.
