March Madness: Race Towards Building Careers

banner

Peralta Colleges Foundation is committed to the academic and personal enrichment of the students of Peralta Colleges - Laney, Merritt, College of Alameda and Berkeley City College. On Thursday, March 25th from 5:45pm - 7:00pm, we will be hosting our March Madness: Race Toward Building Careers Virtual Spring Event & Auction.

We invite our local partners to join us to support the foundation’s mission to raise necessary funds for its annual student scholarship program and critical funds for emergency student mini-grants. Annually, we disburse close to $180,000 in student scholarships. Since the pandemic, we raised and disbursed over $250,000 from our newly established COVID-19 Emergency Crisis Relief Fund supported by faculty, alumni and community members for mini-grants for students who experienced job loss or reduction.

The onset of the global health crisis required all the Peralta Colleges to pivot to online instruction which revealed a large disparity for our Peralta students. Our students and their families have been impacted in a way we could not have imagined. Food, housing, as well as technological needs have been exacerbated. The crisis continues to make an indelible mark in the lives of Peralta students. Together we can make a difference.

As a partner, your contribution will help build our scholarship fund to support more students during this time of need. Your company will have the opportunity to join the Chancellor’s Advisory Circle and will be prominently listed as a major event sponsor, receive onsite verbal acknowledgements, listing in our event program, on our designated event webpage and more.

Please join us to help reach our annual goal to continue serving the needs of our students as they thrive towards a timely graduation and workforce entry.

In closing, attached find our benefit levels to further consider your engagement. If you should have any questions, contact our Development Manager, Margie Platero at margie.platero@peralta.edu.

Sincerely,

LaNiece Jones, Executive Director
