A great big thank you goes out to the many community members willing to support BenitoLink during its inaugural fundraiser.
All donations that came in will be matched by the Community Foundation for San Benito County, meaning every dollar donated will be doubled.
That brings us to $39,480 raised!
The BenitoLink team thanks everyone who donated to our “Pledge of Champions.” Your contribution benefits our county’s homegrown news and information website. BenitoLink is here to inform, entertain and engage our community. Our mission is to provide everyone a place to communicate and tell their story. Join the conversation!
