SAVE (Safe Alternatives to Violent Environments) is honored to have been chosen as one of 51 Bay Area charitable organizations to receive generous grants from the Fremont Bank Foundation. The awards, donated in honor of Fremont Bank’s 50th Anniversary, were awarded on Thursday, May 15th at a reception held at the Foundation’s Professional Development Center at the Fremont Unified School District headquarters on Technology Drive.
The Foundation’s Board invited bank associates to vote for their favorite charities; fifty organizations were nominated to receive $10,000 each with one additional $50,000 grant awarded to the charity that received the highest number of votes. SAVE staff members are thrilled to have received the second highest number of votes, and is grateful for not only the bank associates’ recognition but the Foundation’s generosity. SAVE congratulates all grant recipients, especially the Cancer Prevention Institute of California which received the $50,000 grant.
