Description

Dear Bay Area Community, In light of the tragic events in Iran, Persian Women In Tech has decided to cancel the Nowruz SF Gala on March 24th. However to elevate the Iranian community's profile and culture we will host a display of the Haftseen, provide refreshments (Persian Tea, Persian Pastries, Persian Ice-Cream), and display an art Gallery from Iranian women artists on March 24th from 12pm - 3pm for the public in partnership with the Mayor of San Francisco London Breed and Supervisor Ahsha Safai. Supporting our community and creating a sense of belonging is more important than ever. We are asking our community to help us offset the cost of this program by donating to our organization at their discretion. You can donate directly via the Eventbrite Donation ticket type or via Paypal at [email protected].
