comes with experience as both an independent contractor and
volunteer with various nonprofits, including young adult cancer
awareness groups and arts organizations.
Sarah’s work with Planet Cancer’s Medical Advocacy Initiatives
brought the founder/ED to the grand rounds of more than a dozen
major cancer centers nationwide and helped create a toolkit for
young adult cancer patients in their 20s and 30s to use during
interaction with their healthcare providers. Sarah holds a degree
in Art History and continues to explore creative pursuits through
writing and photography.
Jessica is responsible for coordinating all activities

Coordinator for a small nonprofit in the Bay Area, and as a
Fitness and Wellness Coordinator managing employee wellness
programs. She is a graduate of San Francisco State University
with a B.S. in Kinesiology, and a B.A. in Dance Performance. When
she is not whipping processes (and people) into shape, Jessica
wrangles rabbits for a local animal rescue.
We express our gratitude to Wells Fargo for providing the funding
for our new website. The goal of this project has been to create
a highly accessible resource for all nonprofit organizations in
the region, providing information at the fingertips of executive
directors, staff and board members.
Wells Fargo has been a partner in the project from the beginning,
helping us to leverage the website grant into a regional resource
hub, and we appreciate their dedication.
