Neighbors needed to step up to the $5K Challenge -- Alamo Square Fire Fund

Big 5 Sporting Goods has offered to match all donations received through April 30, up to a grand total of $5,000; Tenants displaced by San Francisco fire struggle to find housing
 
SAN FRANCISCO - March 18, 2015 - PRLog -- There have been at least five fires in San Francisco since January 2015, displacing over 100 residents. The residents of the McAllister Street fire are trying to put their lives back together, but many are having difficulty finding affordable housing.

Starting March 20 and through the month of April, anyone who donates to the Alamo Square Fire Fund (www.gofundme.com/5kchallenge/) will have their donation matched (up to a total of $5,000) by Big 5 Sporting Goods, a perennial sponsor of the annual Bay to Breakers race and a community partner of Alamo Square.   The donation challenge is being issued just in time for the Bay to Breakers 2015 race, scheduled for May 17 this year.

Our hope is that the 35 residents displaced by the McAllister Street fire get a little help from neighbors and friends in rebuilding their lives. Join tenants and neighborhood leaders as we announce the donation challenge at Alamo Square.
