Dear start-up community,

Over the last year, we've had the pleasure of meeting many entrepreneurs from all over. Many of you have had great stories to tell us, and we're really proud of your accomplishments. Sometimes we get so caught up in our start-up that we forget that there's more to life beyond the creation of a new app or closing that deal.

We'd like to invite you, your family and friends to The Family Giving Tree to help fulfill the holiday wishes of thousands of children in the Bay Area. For a few hours on Saturday, December 3, 2011, we want you to put down your Macbook full of code and put away that Powerpoint deck and become a warehouse elf where you can wrap presents, sort gifts and put a smile on a face on those that are less fortunate in the Silicon Valley.

What: Change your world by joining your fellow innovators at The Family Giving Tree
When: Saturday, December 3, 2011 from 10 am - 2 pm
Where: 749 East Calaveras Blvd., Milpitas, CA 95035



We'll provide some refreshments so please sign up today!
