YMCA of the East Bay

Two new classrooms at the EM Downer Early Learning Center in Richmond are being dedicated to the memory of George Luna, a beloved member of the Berkeley Rotary Club.   The Berkeley Rotary's contribution of $25,560 for these new classrooms will help provide 24 children, ages 2-5 with a place to learn and grow, expanding the EM Downer ELC's capacity to help low income families in the Richmond community.   YMCA of the East Bay CEO and President Fran Gallatti says, "The Berkeley Rotary's example of caring, volunteerism, and philanthropy inspires us all to give back. [This] generous grant and volunteer efforts convey the powerful message that when we come together, we can create lasting change. It's a testament to our collective impact we come together in support of the greater good."

Pearline (Pearl) Brown has organized and run the South Y's annual Thanksgiving Food Basket Drive for the last 15 years with the help of sponsor Genentech.   From humble beginnings serving 25 families with help from Pearl's husband and friends, the drive now serves 200 families in the south Berkeley community, providing an assortment of seasonal favorites for Thanksgiving.   A south Berkeley-native, Pearl cherishes the opportunity to give back to the community that raised her. "Knowing that you're able to be an instrument to support someone in their needs and make their holidays brighter is everything and that's what makes it so impactful," says Pearl.
