Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation Gives Thanks

At the 26th Annual Rancho Bernardo Thanksgiving Luncheon, the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation (RBCF) granted a record $70,578 to 19 grantees that enhance the quality of life for Ranch Bernardo community members.

“With this grant cycle we were concentrated on programs that would increase dialogue and participation among Ranch Bernardo community members, young to old,” stated RBCF Chair Kevin Martin.

Fire Safety for Youth to Seniors

Among the list of 2015 grantees was the Burn Institute. For almost 43 years, the organization has been dedicated to reducing fire and burn-related injuries and deaths in San Diego and Imperial Counties. With the 2015 RBCF grant of $5,000, Burn Institute plans to increase support of three programs in the Rancho Bernardo community.

“With the targeted funding provided by RBCF, we are able to direct efforts to make an impact in an area that is vulnerable to wildfires and invest the money right back in to the community,” explained Burn Institute Executive Director Susan Day.
