Chris Wong's PG&E Community Connect Giving Fund

Growing up with SASF, Chris is giving back through PG&E’s match program which matches donations dollar for dollar, up to $5000. Chris is SASF’s sponsor for PG&E's Peer to Peer Fundraising Community. As a PG&E employee, he invites you to donate to a cause that he cares about. PG&E employees select the nonprofits that they support through Peer-to-Peer Fundraising and PG&E matches contributions to eligible organizations.

I grew up in this program, first in summer basketball league and giving back as a basketball coach and referee. This organization does so much for the communities of Sacramento and Elk Grove. Their dedication to youth development through sports and leadership programs include teen women empowerment, a talent show completely organized by youth, and basketball, ages 7-18. They have added new programs to address teen mental health, and sports programs and a fishing derby for special needs youth. Pickleball for Seniors continues to grow by leaps and bounds. An anticipated program with SMUD includes classes on the use of modern and efficient kitchen equipment.

Join me and my friends who participated in SASF programs and are now giving back in different ways.

Donate Here and PG&E Will Match
