Annual Frank & Josephine Duveneck Humanitarian Awards Dinner

In honor of the remarkable legacy of our founders, Frank and Josephine Duveneck, and to generate the resources needed to fulfill our mission, once a year guests join us from Silicon Valley’s corporate, environmental, political and philanthropic communities to recognize inspirational leaders who exemplify Hidden Villa’s values through their environmental, social and educational activism. The outdoor event, which is held on a Saturday evening during the last week of September, is an elegant, tented celebration featuring a wine reception, a silent auction and a wonderful farm-fresh meal that incorporates Hidden Villa’s own organic vegetables and sustainable meats in an unforgettable dinner.tilted_devo_dinner_dq
