🚨 Quick Pitch Applicants 🚨
Friendly reminder to please make sure your application has been submitted if you want to be considered for this year’s South Bay Friends Foundation - Nonprofit Quick Pitch.

✨ How do we select who pitches?
We’ll be choosing the participants this Sunday and people always ask how we do it! we do it the fun, old school way.

All eligible applicants’ names go into our bingo ball tumbler (yes, like the one we grew up with), and we draw them at random.

Fair, transparent, and a little nostalgic 🔴🟡🔵💛
