The Arc of San Francisco

Hi Everyone!

I love working at salesforce.com and am very grateful to the team that supported me to get this job.

A lot of the skills I learned like self-advocacy and being a good employee, I learned through classes at The Arc. That is why I am fundraising for The Arc Allies Program and would love your help!

Arc Allies is a leadership development program that teaches me and my friends at The Arc how to be self-advocates, mentors and leaders both at work and in the community. These programs helped me and I want to help other clients of The Arc have the same opportunities to grow that I did. 

Who knows, maybe some of the new Arc Allies will be working at salesforce.com someday!

You all know me as Joseph's mom and a passionate supporter of The Arc.  I care deeply for people with developmental disabilities who are judged, marginalized and isolated from their community because of prejudice and ignorance.

I am participating as a Champion in The Arc San Francisco’s Anti-Bullying Campaign.  Graduates from this program become our "Arc Allies"!  This is a really cool peer mentoring project designed to empower our clients to respond to the negative comments and attitudes directed at them in the community.  We are teaching leadership skills, boosting self-esteem and taking these skills into the workplace and social situations.  Some of our Arc clients are straight and some are gay, but all have been bullied.

Please join me in my campaign to raise $1,000 to support The Arc San Francisco’s Anti-Bullying Campaign.  We are creating a new generation of leaders who will defend and champion their peers with developmental disabilities while raising awareness about bullying in the community. This leadership training program,  Arc Allies, helps our clients become peer mentors and role models.  We want to raise enough money to fund 14 new Arc Allies this summer.

I invite you to join me by contributing whatever amount you can and taking the Anti-Bullying Pledge . 100% of the proceeds go towards The Arc’s Anti-Bullying and Arc Allies Programs.

We have all witnessed or experienced bullying, please help me stop it here at home.

Thanks in advance for whatever you can do!

I am participating as a Champion in The Arc San Francisco’s Anti-Bullying Campaign, dedicated to my sister Elizabeth and all the clients of The Arc SF who have faced bullying throughout their lives because they are “different.” We are all different in some way or another, and the bullying needs to stop with us, today.

Your donation goes directly towards training Arc clients how to respond to bullying effectively and with dignity, and how to defend themselves and their friends when bullying begins. The Arc Allies program not only builds leadership skills of adults with developmental disabilities that we serve, but it also builds confidence and boosts self-esteem. Confidence, self-esteem, pride and dignity — these are all personal attributes that are necessary for success at work—and in life.

Please join me in my campaign to raise $5000 to support the Arc San Francisco’s Anti-Bullying Campaign and honor my sister Elizabeth, who is no longer bullied! I invite you to join me by contributing whatever amount you can and taking the Anti-Bullying Pledge . 100% of the proceeds go towards The Arc’s Anti-Bullying and Arc Allies Programs.

Thank you! -cb
