Let’s Swing Into the New Year

Harvard Club of San Francisco cordially invites you to a Post-Season Celebratory Dinner
Featuring the 48th “Distinguished Citizen of the Year” Award.

**Come hear what’s on deck for the next season of GIANTS BASEBALL!**

What better way to start the New Year than to celebrate Harvard’s own Larry Baer, HBS ’85, for his 34-year stewardship at the San Francisco Giants. We’ll honor the business leader who has guided the Giants to three World Series championships, four National League pennants, and six division titles. In a fireside chat with fellow Harvard alumnus Sean Jacobsohn, HBS ’98, Larry will give us the scouting report on the upcoming season, both on and off the field, news on the players, and the lineup for 2026.

Don’t miss this opportunity to honor a distinguished alumnus and get a front-row seat for what’s next in Giants baseball.

**And There’s More! Harvard’s A Cappella Legends, the Din & Tonics**

Din and Tonics
With a grand slam performance, we’ll start the year on a high note with the Din & Tonics’ jazz-infused, witty, and harmonious repertoire. The Harvard Din & Tonics are Harvard University’s signature jazz a cappella group. These world-touring Harvard students—who perform in white tie and tails, garnished with lime green socks—will help us swing in 2026 for a lively musical treat.

Join your fellow Harvard alumni for a dinner filled with insights and uplifting fun.
