Through our donors’ generosity, Pacific Clinics raised more than $90,000 at “An Evening for Our Kids” fundraiser at the La Rinconada Country Club with Chef Difu, supporting essential services and programs for children and families in Santa Clara County.
Pacific Clinics Chief Development Officer Mary Anne Chern said, “Thank you to everyone who attended and those who made a generous donation for our Bay Area programs. Pacific Clinics is truly fortunate to have such a dedicated community standing with us and we look forward to sharing the impact of your donations in the coming months. A special thanks to Pacific Clinics Board Member Lisa Swenson and Chef Nick Difu who helped make the event heart-warming and truly memorable for everyone.”
This funding exclusively supports the following Bay Area programs:
- Family Resource Centers: Provide resources that help individuals and families lead healthy, meaningful lives while addressing challenges around mental health and wellness.
- Neurodevelopmental Services: Intensive neuro-developmental services for children on the autism spectrum (and related developmental disorders) and their caregivers.
- The Hope Drop-in Center: Services for older teens and transition-age youth (19-21) experiencing housing and behavioral challenges. Services include peer support groups, mental health services, shower and laundry facilities, food, housing assistance, and academic and work opportunities.
- Professional Parent Program: Housing support for intensive-needs foster youth without a stable home.
- Crisis Stabilization Services: Crisis management and de-escalation services for people experiencing a mental health crisis in the community.
- Holiday Family FUN: Pacific Clinics hosts “store hours” for families and their children to “shop” through our donation items at these events.
