According to the Yahoo search blog one hell of a party took place Saturday celebrating another great year for Yahoo Inc. and its employees.
Nancy Evars of the Yahoo! Search team had this to say …
“No — I don’t show up here only to post about the Yahoo! parties, but we did have one doozy of a year end party (YEP) this past Saturday night in SF. This was my fifth YEP and as with all the previous years, I thoroughly enjoy seeing friends and colleagues dressed in something other than t-shirts and jeans!
In addition to the ice sculptures, amazing food and great music, one of the reasons I love attending the YEP, is the charity auction held every year. The auction starts a week in advance online through Yahoo! Auctions and culminates with in-person bidding at the YEP for the big ticket items. We all have the chance to bid on cool donated items and experiences ranging from a Stanford hoops game with Jerry & David or an LA movie premiere from Terry, to coveted parking spots or a weekend in Tahoe. Proceeds go to the Yahoo! Employee Foundation (YEF), our grassroots philanthropic organization that helps out non-profits in the community. Proceeds from both the online and live auction brought more than $120,000 to YEF, far more than any previous YEF auction.
A great way to start out the holiday season!”
