Berkeley High Parents,

The Berkeley Schools Fund has been and continues to work to help meet the most critical needs of the District and its most vulnerable families at this time. Please consider donating to the Berkeley Schools Fund.  

Every donation you make between now and Sunday, April 5 at midnight is being matched by Mary and Stan Friedman, Schools Fund founders, and grandparents of students at Sylvia Mendez, Longfellow, and Berkeley High. It's a $100,000 matching gift challenge with $60,000 to go! 

Donate Here <https://www.berkeleypublicschoolsfund.org/donate-2-2/online-donation/> or with this link https://www.berkeleypublicschoolsfund.org/donate-2-2/online-donation/ <https://www.berkeleypublicschoolsfund.org/donate-2-2/online-donation/>

Valerie Kratzer, the Berkeley Schools Fund Development Coordinator, has provided the following information about what the is being done now and the volunteer skills needed to help their efforts go further. 
 
Your donation <https://www.berkeleypublicschoolsfund.org/donate-2-2/online-donation/> will be doubled to support emergency assistance for families, books, Chromebooks and the management of 500 volunteers who are getting ready to do everything from tech support for students to preparing art, gardening and maker kits for distribution at school/meal sites. Make a donation today and we'll meet our goal by Sunday!

From Mary and Stan Freidman: "These times require extra commitment from all of us to give what we can to support the families and children in this community who are most impacted by this crisis."
