The holiday season got significantly warmer on December 12th, when 7x7 and PG&E culminated the second annual search for San Francisco's most beloved nonprofit organizations with a lovely reception at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Representatives from the seven charity finalists—the Hearing & Speech Center Of Northern California, Lyon-Martin Health Services, Mayor's Youth Employment & Education Program, Minds Matter, Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, Saving Grace Rescue, and the San Francisco Asian Women's Shelter—gathered in one of the hotel's beautiful ballrooms well-appointed by our friends at Blueprint Studios, and enjoyed festive drinks and delicious bites from the Four Seasons' catering menu.

PG&E's Vice-President of Community Relations, Ezra Garrett and 7x7's President Todd Sotkiewicz greeted the guests and welcomed representatives from the six runners-up, who each received $2,000 grants from PG&E to continue their amazing work. This year's top finalist, Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, received a special check for $10,000.00, which was accepted by executive director and founder Sherri Franklin.
