Director & Staff Pledge: If We Make Our Fundraising Goal We’re Jumpin’ in the Bay!
San Francisco – Public Advocates President & CEO Guillermo Mayer has pledged to jump in the beautiful San Francisco Bay if 100% of the staff members of the public interest law firm he leads reach their fundraising goals on #GivingTuesday. Much of the staff of the organization has also pledged to take the dive if they reach the personal goals they’ve set in support of their organization.
