Santa Clara Presents $45,000 to Local Charities
When a City Council or department head makes the decision to go above and beyond, to raise funds and give to charitable organizations in their community they deserve to be recognized. PublicCEO takes pride in acknowledging our public officials, particularly for dedication and hard work.
Back in November, PublicCEO reported that the Parks and Recreation Department of Santa Clara donated $45,000 to five separate organizations within the city. The 31st Annual Santa Clara Art and Wine Festival provided the funds to donate.
