| In 2016, the San Francisco office made grants to several local charitable organizations. Beneficiaries were the American Cancer Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area, Community Gatepath, Girls Inc. of the Island City, and the Pat Tilman Foundation. Over $13,000 was distributed to these charities, supporting the valuable work they do in the Bay area. The photos show Max Gilman presenting a check to Dawn Kruger, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bay Area, and Frances Murphy making the check presentation to Jeanne Berube, Director of Event and Donor Engagement at Gatepath.
| | Repeat Performance for Cradles to Crayons |
| For the past several years, the Boston office has raised funds to support the work of Cradles to Crayons, and 2016 was no different. More than 305,000 Massachusetts children 12 years old and younger live in low-income or poverty stricken households. In a given year, more than 100,000 Massachusetts children will experience homelessness. Cradles to Crayons helps children who don’t have shoes that fit, or a coat warm enough to fend off winter winds, or a backpack to take their books and supplies to and from school by supplying these items free of charge. Presenting a check for $20,000 are (L to R) Melanie Borodawka, Kirk Metcalf, Susan Adler, Director of Corporate Relations for C2C, and Denise Kelleher.
