On Monday night, the city of San Francisco welcomed back Sarah Austin, a lifecaster and alternate media producer originally from Manhattan, as she embarks on her August mission for the Ford Fiesta movement. The purpose at the ZaudHaus Design Group office was to celebrate a cause known as Summer Search to which it seems Austin herself was a part of – it’s a leadership organization for high school students.

A raffle was held throughout the evening that people could enter to win one of five Poken devices and an auction also took place to give one lucky guy or girl the opportunity to go on a date with Sarah Austin herself – all proceeds, including a $500 donation from the Ford Fiesta movement, were to go to the Summer Search program.

Oh, and wine was pleasantly provided by Gary Vaynerchuk himself in honor of his upcoming new book Crush It. Here are a few photos from the event.
