Dear Stephen,
On behalf of the Board of Supervisors,I would like to express our thanks to you for
your generous gift to Contra Costa County's Pediatric Asthma Program.
The Swim A-Thon you sponsored in April of this year was a successful fundraiser and
the effort is greatly appreciated by our pediatric asthma program staff and clients. The
Program will use the funds to purchase equipment to treat children who have asthma.
We would also like to compliment you on your high school Senior Project,for which
you gathered information about children throughout the County who are struggling
with this disease and inspired the fundraising effort.
Please accept our gratitude to you and all of those individuals and groups who
participated in this effort.
Sincerely,
MARY N. PIEPHO, Chair
Board of Supervisors
