Bay Area corporations competed head to head in a high-tech
scavenger hunt throughout the San Francisco's Presidio
on Saturday, May 19th, 2007. Co-sponsored by Real Options

Kimpton Group, Sports4Good, AngelPoints, Friends of
Jamba Juice and ROCK competed in the first annual event

their accomplishments. At the end of the day, voting
took place based on the digital proofs (creativity counts)
and the first ever Go for Good champion was declared.
