Breathe California joined the event’s organizers in
celebrating a successful run that boasted close to 300,000

Double Your Gift by Applying for Gift
Matching
 Did
you know that many companies will match employee donations to
non-profits, like Breathe California?
Gift matching programs offer Silicon Valley employers a simple way
to support non-profit groups that are important to their employees.
The next time you make a donation, check with your HR
department to see if they offer gift-matching.
Generally, all you have to do is complete and return a form to your
HR department, or give us the form to fill out and return to your
company. Either way, it's an easy means to double your
support! For more information, contact Steve French at (408)
998-5865 or steve@lungsrus.org.
