Presented by Wells Fargo, the fundraiser supports St. Anthony’s mission to feed, heal, shelter, clothe, and lift the spirits of people experiencing homelessness and poverty in San Francisco. 

Started in 1977 by renowned restaurateur Ed Moose as a friendly wager between two watering holes, Penny Pitch quickly became a cherished local tradition.

Since its inception more than 40 years ago, this uniquely San Francisco event has raised more than $1 million for St. Anthony’s! Learn more at www.pennypitchsf.org/.
