Co-sponsored by ROCK, AngelPoints, Inc. and The Go Game, the Go

for at-risk children in San Francisco's Visitacion Valley.
Armed with a video-capable cell phone and a digital camera, corporate
teams will be tasked to complete missions and riddles, some of
which involve the children of ROCK, and take pictures as proof
of their accomplishments. At the end of the day, voting will take
place based on the digital proofs (creativity counts) and a Go
for Good champion will be declared. Go for Good will bring together
a wide range of Bay Area corporations and provide a forum for
team-building, good will in the community and networking. "We
are thrilled that some top San Francisco Bay Area companies are
supporting this effort", Curt Yagi, Executive Director of

we hope will carry over from year to year."
