We wish we could channel Oprah and give everyone a car! (Someday!)
Today, though, Lucky Number 729128 becomes the proud owner of a $100 gift certificate to Kokkari and a bottle of Pol Roger Champagne (the official bubbly at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Royal Wedding, say whaaaaaaa’?!)
Take a snap of your ticket, Lucky Number 729128, upload it to your socials, and tag @thatswhatshesaidsf to claim your hella delicious goods!
Mad props to everyone who showed face last nite. Together, we raised almost ONE. THOUSAND. DOLLARS. for That’s What She Said™ 😝 ONETHOUSANDDOLLARS!!!
We couldn’t have done it without your dollar-dollar-bills and hearts! And we also couldn’t have done it without our generous sponsor and in-kind donors.

Thank you to Suzette and Barone Fini for hosting the Blind Wine Tasting competition. When Suzette’s company invited her to support an opportunity with Barone Fini, she knew immediately that she wanted to work with TWSS™. Her words: “I am supportive of womxn who care about the local community and the success of womxn in the Bay Area—and grateful to be supporting TWSS™!”
Suzette’s support included raffle prizes and a $250 Challenge Grant; between the raffle, Barone Fini Merlot donations at the bar, and our GoFundMe campaign, we raised an additional $447 towards that Challenge Grant 🙌🏼
Even better: Suzette decided to match what we raised and has given TWSS™ $500 (rather than her $250 challenge amount). Thank you, thank you, thank you a million times, Suzette!
ONETHOUSANDDOLLARS!!!
Shout out to our friends at Kokkari, too, for hooking up Lucky Number 729128 with a gift certificate for lunch or dinner. Make your reso now, Lucky Number 729128! Kokkari is a SF Institution. A Greek Temple of Lamb. One of Zagat’s best-rated restaurants: “A Downtown star for many years, this sublime Greek continues to shine with lamb shanks from the gods, flawlessly spit-roasted meats and other fabulous specialties served by an exceptional crew in an inviting, rustic-chic space favored by fashionable crowds; the memorable experience requires a difficult rezzie and deep pockets to meet the high-class cost, but it’s widely hailed as a ‘must-go’ for a good reason.”
Also, Khloe, Kourtney, and Kim Kardashian had dinner at Kokkari last year.
Also, Kokkari Chef Erik Cosselman cooked for the Obamas.
Thank you, Kokkari! Dig in, Lucky Number 729128!

And last but not least, we MUST give it up for our comics! Thank you Anica, Ali, and Nicole. We’re still laughing our faces off!
Please support this crew in SF. And don’t forget to pre-order Ali’s book Radio Underground so we can get her on that Wall Street Journal Best Seller List. Ali needs 3,000 pre-orders of her book by September—we can help make a dent, right?! RIGHT?! You can pre-order Radio Underground on Amazon or via iBooks.
Oh! And if you've ever joined us at That's What She Said™, make sure you also join our private FB group (for attendees only) so you can catch more of Morgan's great snaps!
How’s that for a long-winded thank you?! We are so grateful to be in this together! See you on August 6!
