Say Bridge for iAIDS, the Environment, )
Youth and the Arts' }
There has never been a greater need for health and human services
that local' non-profit organizations provide' than there is now.;
Unfortunately, due to our tough economic times, most of these
agencies are suffering; however, a wonderful opportunity to raise
funds for these organizations has presented itself.
Lifespan, the Run Across the Bay Bridge, is a first-time athletic
event that will raise money to be donated to AIDS services, youth `
services, the arts, and environmental protection. in total, there
are 40 Bay Area non-profit organizations that will benefit, each
providing vital services to local communities in the Bay Area and
each desperately in need of°'financial support.
Lifespan has been "`endorsed' by the majority of the'' Bay Area' s
counties and cities andihas the backing of many large,; prestigious
corporations. The only opposition has been from Caltrans, who has
denied''approval to close the upper deck of the Bay Bridge for four
hours can the morning of September 20, 1992.
NOW, THEREFORE,; BE IT RESOLD that the Board of Supervisors urges
the Governor of the State of California to authorize closure of the
Bay Bridge in support of this major civic event that will increase
funding for AIDS, -youth services, the arts, and environmental
protection.
PASSER AND ADOPTED ON April'' 14, 1992, by a unanimous" vote of the
Board members present.
