Navidance was founded in 2022 by Joe Rodrigues and Matthew Mingrone, two Bay Area natives, in an attempt to combine the generosity brought about by the holiday season with the opportunity to provide a fun event for young adults to support local Bay Area charities, expand their networks, and celebrate with friends and family.
We are incredibly appreciative of the 150 individuals who attended and/or donated to Navidance in 2022 and made our inaugural event a resounding success. Additionally we are forever grateful to the donors and local businesses who have sponsored or provided auction items as donations to Navidance and will continue to support us for future events.
As we work on planning Navidance 2023 and continue to enhance our event, we appreciate any sponsorships, donations, support or recommendations. We hope you will join us at Navidance 2023 or consider supporting our charity of choice with a donation or sponsorship! Please do not hesitate to reach out to either of us with any questions or inquiries.
