It’s time for our annual alumni-giving contest! With Chevron’s plan to relocate to Houston, we are losing their valued corporate sponsorship. This makes our Best-Class-Ever alumni giving contest more important than ever. We hope that all classes will rally in support of sustaining the program and the friendly competition for the Best Class Ever trophy! Whether your contribution is $20 or $100, the class with the largest percentage of participants wins. From business and non-profit leaders to educators and public servants to community board members and volunteers, Leadership San Ramon Valley alumni are positively impacting the lives of San Ramon Valley residents. Each day they are involved in making this valley a special place to live and work. The Alumni News section of our last newsletter underscored the relevance of this program for fostering informed community engagement and building a deep bench of community leaders in the San Ramon Valley. Donate with Paypal and help put your class in the running for the title “Best Class Ever.” Alternatively, you may send a check payable to Leadership SRV to PO Box 1185, Danville, CA 94526. The winning class will be announced at graduation on May 8th. For the contest, donations must be received by May 8th at 11:00AM.
