Helping those in need
Rancho Cordova, Calif., employees regularly participate in fundraising, and their most recent efforts focus on helping Customer Service Specialist Evelyn Richardson's 3-year-old granddaughter Bevin. Bevin was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, which affects her hips, knees, and left ankle, causing her to walk with a limp, and requiring daily medication and weekly injections. City employees are collecting recyclable plastic bottles and soda cans to raise money for the family's team in the Arthritis Foundation's Arthritis Walk in Sacramento in May. Money raised for the walk goes toward finding a cure for the disease. To date, the family's team has raised $1,260, $255.42 of which is from recycling. To learn more about Bevin, visit the family's blog, and for more about the city's fundraising efforts, visit the city's website. Photo by Ashley Downton, Rancho Cordova administrative secretary.
