With sadness, respect, and profound appreciation, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco remembers, honors, and celebrates the extraordinary life of Doris Fisher.

Over the decades, Doris Fisher helped champion opportunities for young people across San Francisco through her enduring support of BGCSF and other youth-serving nonprofits. Her family’s legacy can be felt across generations of Club youth, and through the continued partnership between BGCSF and Gap Inc., and its affiliated brands.

"I was extremely lucky to know the friendship of Doris Fisher for many, many years. Together with her husband, Don, the Fishers were always very generous to the Club, starting in the early 1960s. Their support was more than just financial, they were investors and collaborators in the mission and purpose of BGCSF. Both Doris and Don were very proud of the work this organization does with youth, families, and neighborhoods." - Rob Connolly, President & CEO of BGCSF

We are deeply grateful for Doris' kind heart, her love of community, and her tenacity for fighting for causes she believed in.
