CVSan Earth Day Donation to Kiwanis Hayward-Castro Valley Chapter

Castro Valley Sanitary District (CVSan) hosted its 12th annual Earth Day Clean-Up event in April 2014.  For the third year in a row, CVSan provided each volunteer an opportunity to select 1 of 3 local charities to receive $5.00 on their behalf.  CVSan is proudly donating a total of $1,635.00 to local charity groups based on each volunteer’s selection.

Kiwanis representative, Bill Mulgrew, attended CVSan’s July Board meeting and was presented with a donation of $275.00.  Mr. Mulgrew thanked CVSan’s Board of Directors for their generous donation.  He shared the donation will go towards two of the causes supported by Kiwanis Hayward-Castro Valley Chapter. 

Kiwanis International is working to eradicate neo-natal tetanus in partnership with UNICEF.  There are 24 countries left with this disease and every 9 minutes a baby dies from it.  Additionally, the Kiwanis Hayward-Castro Valley Chapter plans to assist Castro Valley Relay for Life who hosts a hot breakfast for approximately 150 volunteers.
