The San Jose Mercury News-San Mateo County Times website is a disaster but with multiple searches on the dysfunctional site I finally found the piece from Thursday titled "Nonprofits receive $7.9M". It was the front page of the Local News print section and should have popped right up, but perhaps the Merc will get a grant too. So the good news is that among 700 recipients
The biggest winner Tuesday was Burlingame Community for Education, which provides support for the Burlingame School District. It raised $184,438, more than any other participant. And with 275 donors, it ranked No. 1 among smaller nonprofits, which earned the foundation a $250,000 technology-and-consulting services package from Microsoft.
From the looks of other events BSD is involved in, this will be a welcome stop gap financial measure. Congrats to those residents who reinforced one of the most attractive aspects of B'game. Our schools.
Thanks, Mr. Editor, for focusing on the positive aspects of our tremendous Burlingame Schools and the wonderful work that BCE does to keep them the best. My two sons are graduates of Washington, BIS and BHS, and I am their biggest fan…Congratulations to BCE for rocking the Silicon Valley Giving contest!
