We know you've probably been following the situation in China closely - and we were hoping to organize a Haas Student drive. But with school closing for the term, we may not be able to do this efficiently. (In addition, many of us have matching corporate funds that we would otherwise not be able to leverage.) Hence, we figured we'd publish a guide to tell you where you might be able to channel your funds.
The following organizations are registered with the IRS as 501(c)(3) organizations, therefore your contributions are fully tax-deductible to the amount allowed by law. If you donate by Paypal, your paypal transaction notification can be used as a valid proof of donation.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
ING Bay to Breakers is a 12K (7.46 miles) course. From sea level at the Embarcadero the course rises steeply along Hayes Street Hill. Around the 2.5-mile mark runners climb an 11.15% grade between Fillmore and Steiner, bringing them to the highest point in the race, approximately 215 feet above sea level. The remainder of the course gradually flows alongside the Panhandle and through Golden Gate Park.
BENEFICIARIES
- Breathe California is dedicated to fighting lung disease in all its forms
- Spark creates real-world opportunities for Bay Area youth
- Thurgood Marshall Academic High School
- The Children's Charity Club at George Washington High School
- Lowell High School
BAY TO BREAKERS
In the true spirit of San Francisco the race is a celebration for everyone. Thousands of costumed participants join with families, weekend runners and people just out for a stroll. As they make their way through the heart of San Francisco they are cheered by thousands of spectators and live music along the course. They also have to dodge the "spawning salmon" who each year make their way from the Finish line, through the masses, to the Start.
