"A Legacy of Hope"
Fundraiser a HUGE success!

You made it happen! “Because of the support of friends of USF and the hard work of Marie Assali and Peggy Stepro, USF’s fifth annual fundraiser exceeded all of our goals”, says president of the board John Rogers. Marie Assali and her committee raised over $100,000 for the Daily Bread Program. We could not have done this without our Event Sponsors, all our table sponsors and all of our volunteers. A special Thank You to the CSUS Office of Service Learning and the many student volunteers who participated. Your help was invaluable and we couldn’t have done it without you. A big Thank You goes out to all of the Oral Auction Winners. You helped make this year's fundraiser a great success. The committee has already scheduled the date for next year’s event: November 20, 2010. Save the Date!
