Executive Elf Challenge

Silicon Valley Executives play Santa for a day! This season, more than 50,000 low income children will receive gifts and clothing through the Family Giving Tree's Holiday Wish Drive. To share the holiday spirit and bring awareness to the magnitude of the problem, we are hosting a competition amongst the employees of its host companies and biggest supporters.

Silicon Valley CEO's, executives and others will be wrapping, 'shopping' and bagging gifts in a fun competitive environment; a warehouse brimming with over 50,000 gifts!

This event is open to everyone, not just executives. The first 50 teams of 4-6 members to send in an application will be enrolled automatically; any additional sign ups will be placed on the waiting list.

When and Where?

Friday, December 17th, 2010 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

Location TBA!

Cost: $20 per team of 4-6 members to help cover the cost of essential items (shoes, coats and blankets) for the families and children we serve.

NBC 11 will be covering the event; other media invited as well!
