Meida Alert from Wells Fargo

Iconic Wells Fargo Stagecoach to Roll into San Francisco Financial District
Wells Fargo will award $250,000 to Habitat for Humanity and $100,000 to Someday StoriesSM contest winner

WHAT: Wednesday (Dec. 10), the iconic horse-drawn Wells Fargo stagecoach will roll through the San Francisco Financial District for the first time since 2002. Wells Fargo officials will present $250,000 to Habitat for Humanity and $100,000 to Someday Stories contest winner Evelyn Krieger.

Krieger will use her $100,000 prize to invest in her 17-year old daughter Leah’s business – a magazine for Jewish girls called Yaldah (“girl” in Hebrew). The magazine, which Leah started when she was 13, encourages young girls to follow their dreams and celebrates their Jewish values. Krieger will expand the magazine, hire staff and help this entrepreneurial young editor and publisher pursue new ventures.

Habitat for Humanity’s $250,000 grant will help the organization continue its mission of helping families turn their “Someday” dream of homeownership into reality.
