“As my little brother has gotten older, he gets so nostalgic about things we did together. He’ll send me emails reminiscing, and I had no idea that the fun things we did together had such an impact.”

Announcing The "Next 50 Fund" Campaign
Our "Next 50 Fund" is an ambitious campaign to raise $5,000,000, which:
- Ensures a legacy for the next 50 years
- Helps us reach our goal of 5,000 kids served by 2010
- Provides us the seed money to expand programs into areas of greatest need
- Provides the stable underpinning of future growth.
$5,000,000 to ensure the next 50 years:
$50,000 "Dream Makers"
We're looking for 50 individuals or groups who will contribute a minimum of $50,000 to help Bay Area kids. This will raise $2,500,000 of our $5,000,000 goal and really make dreams come true for our community and for our kids. Our 2007 Board of Directors has generously committed the first $50,000, so we have just 49 more to go. Click here to donate online.
$5,000 "Match Makers"
We're looking for 250 individuals who will contribute a minimum of $5,000 to help Bay Area kids. This will raise $1,250,000 of our $5,000,000 goal. It costs $5,000 to make and support a match for our three year average match length. Click here to donate online.
$50 "Friend Makers"
It takes a village, and out of the 5.5 million people who live in the Bay Area, and all of their friends worldwide, we're looking for 25,000 individuals who will contribute a minimum of $50 a year to help us reach our goal. This will get us the last $1,250,000 of our $5,000,000 goal. Click here to donate online.
Bear in mind we already have over 5,000 supporters who have contributed at least $50 over the past few years. We need all of you - and more! Anyone can do it! It could be done as easily as as a payment of $4.16 per month - less than the price of a latte! Click here to donate online.
