Port of Oakland Employees Set A New Record for Generosity Pledging $96,000 to Local Charities
Not one, but two records were broken as the final numbers rolled in from the Port of Oakland's 2000 Giving Campaign. Port employees generously pledged over $96,000. This figure represents a Port record and a 10% increase over last year. In addition more people contributed than ever before -- a record 306 participants.
The donations are given to a group of agencies selected by Port employees. They include non-profit organizations under the umbrella of United Way of the Bay Area, Bay Area Black United Fund, Community Health Charities of California, Port of Oakland Employees Scholarship Fund and the Port of Oakland Asian Employees Association.
The Giving Campaign is in its 16th year at the Port. Port of Oakland Employees have contributed $642,000 over the duration of the program since it began back in 1984.
