Chamber Presents $28,400 to Kainos

REDWOOD CITY, CA - August 6, 2003 ­ A $28,400 check was presented to the Kainos Home & Training Center for Adults with developmental disabilities. The proceeds come as a result of the success of the Wells Fargo-Rathman Benefit Golf Tournament held in May, which is sponsored by the Redwood City-San Mateo County Chamber of Commerce.

This check represents the largest one time donation that Kainos receives the entire year. Although the Chamber of Commerce benefits equally, it is very unusual that one non-profit would contribute such a large amount to another. Chairman of the Board Rosanne Foust, in presenting the check said, “We are proud of the relationship that we have with Kainos. It’s a great cause and one that we as the Chamber really believe in and feel motivated to help as much as we can.”

Kainos Executive Director, Andy Frisch in accepting the check on behalf of Kainos thanked the Chamber and the golf committee profusely. He said that the contribution means so much to Kainos in enableling them to continue to do the work they do to help adults with developmental disabilities become contributing members of the community. Frisch particularly expressed his appreciation to John Adams, Northern California Area Manager and Wells Fargo for their Title Sponsorship of the tournament.

The $28,400 check was presented at the Chamber’s Executive Committee meeting at the end of July.
