About The Bay Area CFO of the Year Awards

Larkin Street Youth Services, in partnership with the San Francisco Business Times is proud to present the fourth annual Bay Area CFO of the Year Awards.  It is a unique Bay Area event, recognizing unsung heroes who have played a critical role in the success of their companies and to honor others who have improved the quality of life in our community.

Last year’s event attracted more than 450 Bay Area business leaders who gathered to recognize the impressive group of finalists and award winners.  The 2008 event raised over $400,000 to benefit Larkin Street Youth Services, which for 25 years has provided comprehensive services for thousands of youth who find themselves living on the street, through no fault of their own.
