The Gala is well known for its live music, numerous caviar and vodka bars, flowing Champagne, sumptuous dinner buffets and over the top dessert stations.  The Pacific Chamber Orchestra played jazz throughout the 50,000 square feet of the show.

Since 1969, Enterprise for High School Students has worked with youth to prepare them for their next steps after high school. The ratio of students to counselors in the San Francisco Unified School District is 1,151 : 1. Enterprise supports these youth through programs that provide students with the ability and opportunity to find and retain jobs, explore career opportunities and develop life skills crucial for their transition from high school to adult life.

More than 20,000 youth have learned the skills and values essential to workplace success at Enterprise. 100% of the proceeds of the show go directly to Enterprise for High School Students.
