We want to thank those of you who donated blood at our annual Stand Up and Be Counted blood drive. We were able to donate 43 pints of blood this year and are looking to increase the amount next year. Thank you to Ron Hickok at Britz, Inc. and Kyle Stephenson at Baker, Peterson and Franklin for making their facilities available for the Bloodmobile. Not only did we give the gift of life, but we also were able to “bank” the donations, so if any of our members need blood, CalCPA’s account can be accessed. Thank you CPAs for caring!

I am so honored to have received this scholarship. My best wishes go out to all who contributed and awarded me. I would like to thank you and let you know a little bit about myself. I am a senior at Fresno Pacific University and a member of the track and field team. I also work at a CPA firm where I can continue pursuing my dream of becoming a CPA. I recently had surgery and was unable to walk or work. This scholarship will allow me to continue my studies and pursue my dreams by helping meet my needs. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate your contribution.
Yours truly,
Veronica Pantoja

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing this scholarship. It has truly been a blessing to me this year. Coming into this year I was not sure how I was going to come up with the extra money, but when I was informed that I had received this scholarship, I was honored and very humbled. This scholarship fits so well since I am in the process of completing my degree in accounting and am hoping to pass the CPA Exam within the first 18 months after graduation. I am a junior and have truly enjoyed my experience at Fresno Pacific University thus far. Again, thank you so very much for providing these types of scholarships to help students such as myself to reach their goals and be well prepared for future careers.
Thank you very much,
Aaron Pope

I am a senior at the University of Phoenix, majoring in accounting. I am motivated to find any paid/unpaid internship or accounting related job, such as clerk or bookkeeper, that can provide experience. I am available for some traveling and depending on the offer, I could also be available for full-time work. I look forward to responses, as I am a strong worker and would be an asset to any company.
You can contact me at (559) 930-2390 or via e-mail.

The nonprofit raises funds through individual donations, local businesses and grants, and in turn, are then turned over to other nonprofits and public service providers working to implement Fresno’s 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness.
