DESCRIPTION:Give your heart to San Francisco and celebrate the 50-year legacy of 
 unconditional love at the GLIDE Annual Holiday Festival: Celebrate50 on 
 Wednesday, December 4 at the historic San Francisco War Memorial Opera 
 House.\n\nWith an all-star line-up featuring Dr. Maya Angelou - one of the 
 most renowned and influential voices of our time; Valerie Simpson - of the 
 powerhouse Motown songwriting/production team Ashford & Simpson; Judith 
 Hill - vocal stylist, virtuosic pianist and “The Voice” 2013 top-eight 
 finalist; Tom Johnston lead singer and guitarist from the legendary Doobie 
 Brothers; San Jose Taiko and more to be announced. The evening will feature 
 music and storytelling that honors the 50-year anniversary of co-founders 
 Rev. Cecil Williams and Janice Mirikitani at GLIDE and their mission to 
 change the world. Emceed by Bay Area radio host and San Francisco Giants 
 announcer Renel Brooks-Moon, the evening’s honorary co-chairs include Dr. 
 Maya Angelou, Pam and Larry Baer, Richard Blum, Senator Dianne Feinstein 
 and Robin Williams.\n\nIn 1963, Rev. Cecil Williams and Janice Mirikitani 
 started a revolution of sorts from GLIDE Church on the corner of Ellis and 
 Taylor, in the midst of one of San Francisco’s toughest neighborhoods. 
 Their partnership and dedication launched a movement that was characterized 
 by unconditional love and radical inclusivity. One by one, they changed the 
 lives of San Francisco’s poorest and disenfranchised by offering meals, 
 housing, healthcare, treatment and, above all, spiritual inspiration. 
 Janice and Cecil taught the community how to address the issues of poverty, 
 homelessness, racism and homophobia head-on by demonstrating the spirit of 
 generosity and acceptance. In doing so, GLIDE has helped transform San 
 Francisco into a beacon of tolerance and justice.

 GLIDE Annual Holiday Festival at 6pm for the 7pm program followed by a
