 Google Gives Back!In December, we were ecstatic to receive an invitation to present during Google's annual giving drive, G-Give, as a featured charity. G-Give, Google's internal donation giving and matching platform, encourages employees choose causes to support by making a financial donation. Google then matches the donations to provide further support.
Thanks to all the "Googlers" and G-Give's generous donation matching program, we are proud to announce RAR received over $17,000.
Thanks, Google! Young readers throughout the Bay Area appreciate your support.
