ABOUT YUPPIE FRIDAY
Yuppie Friday is a group of young urban professionals dedicated to supporting San Francisco philanthropy through cocktails. Our mission is to increase awareness, raise financial support and encourage volunteerism for local Bay Area charities. We meet every other month on a Friday at various bars around the Financial District for a happy hour featuring a particular charitable organization.
Throughout the year, Yuppie Friday also hosts other events involving the Bay Area non-profit community in both public and limited engagement formats. Please sign up on for our newsletter to learn more about our upcoming events or visit our blog to learn about past events.
If you are involved with a non-profit organization that would like to partner with Yuppie Friday, please email our Director of Non-Profit Relations. We wish we could support all causes; however, we receive numerous requests and host a limited number of events per year. We are always looking for volunteers to plan and facilitate our events. Please email our Volunteer Coordinator if you are interested in volunteering. If you or your company wish to make a charitable gift or inquire about sponsorship and branding opportunities, please contact stacy@yuppiefriday.com

Why the name
We are young (at least in our own minds), we live in an urban area, and we are professionals in our respective industries. So, like it or not, we are Yuppies (Young Urban Professionals). We hold our events on Fridays, which is how YuppieFriday was born.
