Annual Benefit

Once a year we celebrate the success of Renaissance’s current and former students at our Annual Benefit. Complete with food, dancing and live music, this exciting fundraising event provides a direct sales marketplace for over 15 Renaissance graduates. Our Annual Benefit, which takes place during the month of September, is a great networking opportunity for the business professionals, community leaders and entrepreneurs in attendance and we also recognize local business leaders with awards at the event. This is also an opportunity for the community to show its support for Renaissance by making donations and to patronize local small businesses by buying from our graduates in the marketplace.

Annual Holiday Sale

Our annual Holiday Sale, during the month of December, provides a great networking and direct sales opportunity for Renaissance graduates. Open to the public, the Holiday Sale allows our graduates showcase their products and gives the local community a chance to pick up some unique holiday gifts.  In past years, Renaissance has hosted the Holiday Sale in the lobby of Citibank at Market in 1st and at the Renaissance head-quarters on 5th Street in SOMA and on the top floor of First Bank at 550 Montgomery Street. Business Planning graduates offering products for sale are welcome to apply to be a vendor.

Business Planning Graduations

Graduations for our Business Planning Class occur four times a year. These events feature prominent guest speakers from the business world and celebrate the success of our graduating entrepreneurs. Graduations also serve as a great networking opportunity and are often attended by local business and community leaders

Business Networking

Renaissance also offers a number of unique networking opportunities for entrepreneurs and small business owners. Several times a year we host speaking engagements by renowned business leaders who offer their success stories as well as valuable advice to those in attendance. These engagements offer attendees an opportunity to learn from the best as well as a chance to network with leading business owners.
