This Old Bag, October 19 at W San Francisco, was an amazing success, raising more than
$125,000 for BCEF’s clients. Thanks to presenting sponsor Kaiser Permanente, other generous
sponsors, fabulous celebrity and local donors and
joyously competitive bidders, BCEF raised enough
funds to provide grants to over 200 low-income San
Franciscans battling breast cancer.
Riding the reins of what turned into a wild live
auction was guest auctioneer San Francisco Police
Officer Lenny Broberg assisted by Channel 7’s
Janelle Wang, host of View from the Bay. The top
purchases of the evening were the Sharon Stone Versace bag for $8,000 and two VIP tickets to the Oprah
Winfrey Show that include a photo opportunity with
Oprah, bought for $13,000 by Mark Calvano. Mark
plans to take his friend Bella Farrow, This Old Bag’s
Event Chair, to meet the Divine Ms. O!
BCEF was the grateful recipient of three very special
donated items that were snatched up during the Live
Auction: a custom April in Paris bag donated by master
artisan Beatrice Amblard that cashed out at $4,200, and
several other hand-made bags made with love by event cochair Hilary Newsom Callan and author Isabel Allende.
Both bags, displayed with jewelry from Tiffany & Co. and
Shreve & Co respectively, brought in a collective $5,000.
With the 2008 presidential election heating up, autographed
bags from Elizabeth Edwards and Michelle Obama also
did well in the live auction.
Among our generous local handbag donors who made the
evening possible were Ann Getty, Amber Marie Bently,
Jo Schuman Silver, Michela Alioto-Pier, OJ Shansby,
Assemblywoman Fiona Ma, Cheryl Jennings, Prada USA
and Christian Dior Union Square.
Auction revenues from BCEF’s third annual event nearly
doubled last year’s total. None of this would have been possible
without the dedicated support of our Event Chairs, the Honorable Bella Farrow, Wilkes Bashford, Hilary Newsom
Callan, Harry Denton, Beth Townsend and DA Kamala
Harris; and our Host Committee Beatrice Amblard, Lindsay Chambers, Celeste Ellett-Woo, Elaine LaMastra,
Rafael Lucatero, Bahya Oumlil-Murad, Claudia Ross, and
Giancarlo Vega. We are so grateful to the tireless behind-thescenes work of our Steering Committee Alexandra Alznauer,
Beatrice Amblard, Dorothy Compeau, Neil Figurelli,
Cynthia Hester, Ralph Hyman, Veronica LaBeau, Arianne
Nichol, Bahya Oumlil-Murad, Erin Sedilko, Elyssa Thorp
and our wonderful volunteers for the evening.
Corporate Sponsorship solicited in advance allowed 100%
of ticket sales and auction proceeds to go directly to help
clients in need. Led off by Presenting Sponsor Kaiser Permanente, underwriters included Wells Fargo Private Banking, 7x7 Magazine, W San Francisco, Pacific Union Community Fund, Safeway, Medjool and
Tiffany & Co. Donations in-kind from
The SAK, Chanel, Belvedere Vodka
and Doman Chandon rounded out
the donor list.
BCEF Recognized by Local Foundations
BCEF is proud to be recognized this year by three community leaders in the fight against breast cancer. The Safeway
Foundation, San Francisco Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for
the Cure and To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation
have once again honored BCEF’s work with major grants to
enable us to continue to serve low-income San Franciscans
struggling with breast cancer. These grants provide BCEF
with the resources to insure our clients are able to meet
their basic needs and have access to continuous medical care
when they are too sick to work. BCEF is extremely grateful
to our three largest foundation granters who have long led
the way to support people living with breast cancer!

2007 has been an
extraordinary year of
milestones: AEF marked
its 25th anniversary with
a memorable gala at the
San Francisco Marriott in
July; August marked the
occasion of AEF’s 25 millionth dollar of
emergency assistance to clients in need,
and in October, BCEF hosted the biggest
and most successful “This Old Bag” to date
at W San Francisco. Kudos to the AEF/
BCEF staff and hundreds of volunteers
for an outstanding job. We appreciate your
support and the countless hours you each
put in to make this year a huge success.
THANK YOU!
We are delighted to welcome to
the board of directors, two new faces:
Nicole Auyang of Bank of America and
Eric Christiansen, Professor of Law
at University of San Francisco. We also
welcome Stephen Logan back onto the
board after six years of previous board
service and a one year hiatus.
Amidst all that event activity, I am proud

Secondly, in 2006 and 2007, AEF
received funding from the San Francisco
Department of Public Health to augment
its emergency assistance grant program
with additional funds specifically to help
clients in who are facing imminent eviction
or who have a one-time opportunity to
move into subsidized housing but lack the
resources to cover their move-in costs.
This new program fills a very important
need for a selected segment of our clients.
I am pleased to announce that the board
unanimously voted to continue this
program and to augment staff resources to
insure its success and growth in 2008.
While we had much to celebrate in
2007, we also lost a long time AEF/BCEF
supporter and former board member, Peter
‘Suzie’ Wong. Suzie served on the AEF
board from 2002-2006 and was one of
AEF’s biggest champions.
As we move into the holiday season
and end of the year, on behalf of the AEF/
BCEF board and staff, I extend our deep
appreciation and thanks to each of you
for your continued support of the work
we do on behalf our clients.

available by early December for free to people with HIV/AIDS
at most AIDS organizations throughout the city.

time for quiet contemplation, long-term
planning, and strategic thinking at the
annual AEF/BCEF retreat. Tucked away
in the Santa Cruz Mountains for a long
weekend, the board and staff took time to
reflect on the achievements of 2007 and
set the direction for the organization in
2008 and beyond.
The retreat focused on two key areas of
the organization’s development. First, the
potential expansion of BCEF services into
neighboring counties. To properly assess
this effort, we commissioned a needs
assessment and feasibility study this past
summer. Conducted by consultant Giselle
Clark-Ibañez, the study identified San
Mateo County as the best county for BCEF
expansion, citing a lack of similar services,
great need among low income women, and
several strong and logical potential partner
agencies. I am pleased to announce that
the board unanimously accepted the
recommendation to expand BCEF services
into San Mateo County. The staff will begin
to develop an implementation plan so that
services to women in San Mateo County
can begin in 2008.

Donor Profile
Every Penny Counts Day
Gordon Salter
Make Change
For more than a
decade, AIDS Emergency
Fund held a very special
place in the heart of Gordon Salter, who passed
away in October at his
home in Lincoln, California. Each year around the time of World
AIDS Day in December, AEF would get a
call or a note from Gordon, asking us to
charge his credit card for a large annual gift. Like so many other donors who
give annually each December, Gordon
helped AEF build up its cash reserves as
it entered the busiest time of the year for
helping clients in need, during the dark
and rainy days of January and February.
Gordon and his partner Robert Fong
were also thoughtful enough to consider
AEF and other AIDS causes in Gordon’s
estate planning. Because Gordon designated AEF as a beneficiary of his 401k
plan, Gordon’s gift this year was his largest ever, at more than $55,000. His estate
also made a large gift of real estate to
the AIDS Memorial Grove, another of his
favorite charities.
AEF is deeply grateful to Gordon for
his years of loyalty and his thoughtful and
generous remembrance in his will. We
will miss his cheerful and colorful annual
phone conversations and his infectious
enthusiasm. Our condolences go out to
his partner, Robert, at this sad time.
Once again, the change from summer into
fall means it’s time to dig deep for your
spare change to support the Every Penny
Counts campaign sponsored by Wells
Fargo. School children across San Francisco and the Bay Area will work to raise
more than $40,000, competing among
classes and in friendly rivalry against other
schools to see who can raise the most
funds for our clients.
After nearly 15 years of wrapping
up this program on World AIDS Day,
December 1st, EPC Day will instead be
held on February 14th, 2008.
“We’ve found over the last few years
that many schools are collecting later in
the year, in order to ease the burden of
competing with numerous other fundraising drives during the holiday season,”
said Executive Director Mike Smith. “It
makes sense to allow them more time
to collect. At the same time, Valentine’s
Day marries beautifully with our theme
of opening your hearts and wallets. We’re
excited to have the event once again at the
Wells Fargo History Museum in downtown San Francisco.”

A big high-five to all 55 AEF Volunteers who

much Folsom will be donating to AEF.
Annual Labor of Love
Fifteen years ago at Lily’s Bar (now Martuni’s
on Market Street) the then Miss Gay SF, Donna
Sachet hosted her first-ever Songs of the
Season. With early backing from Bob Ross
and Lu Conrad and guest appearances by San
Francisco icons Sharon McNight and Irene
Soderberg, Donna built up a holiday fundraising franchise of monumental scale. Donna
gets annual production help from her dear
friends Richard Sablatura and Bob Brunson,
and together the trio has raised over $200,000
for AEF clients.
Her move to the Plush Room several years
ago firmly established Songs of the Season as
a San Francisco Holiday Tradition. “Songs of
The Season is a dream come true for me each
year,” said Donna Sachet, now Empress XXX,
“I get to bring talented friends together to
add cheer to a holiday that is often lonely for
many in our community — and raise money
for a good cause, too.”
This year, Songs of the Season returns to the
Plush room for three performances, December
17, 18, and 19. “The holidays would not be
the same with the tradition of Donna’s Songs
of the Season,” said Mike Smith, AEF executive director. “We are never quite sure how she
does it, but each year gets better and better.
You can actually feel the love in the room.”

Hearts of Gold
Small Acts of Generosity Add Up
P Tyrone Smith, Director of Development & Communications
The holidays are
a special time that
remind of how we are
connected to the world
around us. It's a season
of giving and hope. So
it’s not surprising that
during the holidays,
many of us seek out ways that we can personally make a difference in the world. We
volunteer our time and/or donate money
to our favorite organizations to quench our
desire to be of service. In fact it is during
the holidays that AEF/BCEF experiences
the most outpouring of support from our
donors. And then often, after the holidays
pass, this collective drive to be of service
seems to wane as we return to our normal
lives, until eleven months later when the
cycle begins again.
Fortunately, there several ways you
can be of service throughout the year that
don’t require a huge commitment of time or
money. And, when added up over time, these
small acts of generosity become a much
larger contribution and source of pride.
Bequests & Planned Giving: Bequests
and planned giving are the ONLY ways to
ensure that you generous intentions are
honored in the event of your death. If you’d
like to include AEF or BCEF in your will
and/or are interested in creating living trusts
we encourage you to contact us as well as
consult a planned giving professional.
Employer Giving Programs: Many
larger corporations have employee giving programs. You can designate a certain
amount of money to be deducted from
your check each pay period. A $10 commit-
ment each pay period becomes an annual
gift of $260. Ask your employer’s human
resources department if they have such
a program. If they do. please nominate
AEF/BCEF to be added to their approved
organizations list.
Employer Matching Program: Many
larger corporations will also match your
donations dollar for dollar. Ask your human
resources department if they will match
your donation to AEF/BCEF.
Sustainers: For those without access
to an employee giving program, you can
choose to become a monthly sustainer
directly with AEF./BCEF. We will charge
your credit card each month for an amount
you determine appropriate.
You can also set up a monthly donation
online with Give Direct, a service of Local
Independent Charities. When you make
any kind of donation through Give Direct,
100% of your donation goes to AEF /BCEF
– there are no credit card fees. To make a
donation thru Give Direct visit AEF/BCEF’s
websites and click on DONATE NOW.
Donate A Car: Donate For Charity
processes our vehicle donations, including free vehicle pickup, handling all of the
DMV issues, selling the vehicle at auction,
and distributing the net proceeds to AEF/
BCEF. To avoid the headache of selling a
used vehicle simply call Donate For Charity
toll-free at 1-866-392-4483 or donate online
at www.donateforcharity.com.
Shop at Cole Hardware: Cole Hardware has locations throughout San Francisco. When you shop at Cole Hardware

purchases. Simply ask the cashier to post
