\"Stop-child-abuse\"<\/a>New York (HedgeCo.Net) – NFL team players, alumni, coaches, executives and cheerleaders are getting together to make the 13th Annual\u00a0Hedge Funds Care \u201cOpen Your Heart to the Children\u201d Benefit in San Francisco a magical day.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco 49ers Owner\/Chair John York and CEO Jed York will also attend the 13th Annual San Francisco \u201cOpen Your Heart to the Children\u201d Benefit organized by Hedge Funds Care and the San Francisco 49ers Foundation.<\/p>\n

The focus of this annual event is for the Bay Area hedge fund industry to work with an outstanding football team to support local child abuse prevention and treatment programs.<\/p>\n

This year the event will be held on April 23rd at 4:30 p.m. PST in a new space at the Metreon\u2019s City View (135 4th St, Fourth Floor, San Francisco, California 94103). As in years past, the event features a large wine-tasting program (with participation from more than fifteen local wineries) in addition to cocktails, dinner, dessert, and the most important aspect \u2013 raising funds through a silent auction, raffle, donation based activities as well as ticket sales. More than 500 hedge fund managers, investors and investment management service providers are expected to attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe San Francisco chapter of Hedge Funds Care has shown a deep commitment to the improving the lives of bay area children by donating time and money to organizations whose mission is to prevent and treat child abuse,\u201d said event co-chair Chris Grandi, President of Abacus Group, a San Francisco and New York based company that provides IT solutions to the hedge fund industry. \u201cThe overriding goal of the event is to raise as much money possible to make as many grants and effect change within the community.\u201d Last year\u2019s event raised over $750,000 through contributions from more than 450 attendees \u2013 enough to award 19 grants given to local organizations earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is always an honor to be affiliated with the \u2018Open Your Heart to the Children\u2019 benefit. In alignment with the 49ers Foundation\u2019s mission to keep kids \u2018Safe, On Track, and In School,\u2019 this event not only creates the opportunity for a tremendous investment in organizations seeking to eradicate child abuse and neglect in our community but also raises visibility for the prevalence of this issue in our community,\u201d shared Joanne Pasternack, Executive Director of the San Francisco 49ers Foundation.<\/p>\n

Now in its 22nd year, the 49ers Foundation supports development programs for underserved youth that keep them, \u201cSafe, On Track, and In School.\u201d Since 1992, the Foundation has donated over $25.3 million to support non-profits, including $3.3 million in 2013.<\/p>\n
