Teachers, principals, and other school and district leaders simply need the right support at the right time.

Every year since 2012, my friend Brandon Ramdayal and other members of our friend group have raised money for the Children's Specialized Hospital through their Extra Life fundraiser. They pledge to play videogames for 24 hours straight and livestream it on Twitch for viewers to watch and donate to. I've had the pleasure of donating every year and this year for the 10th anniversary of their Extra Life campaign, I will be joining them and pledging my Bright Funds to the Children's Specialized Hospital. To check us out when we start streaming use this link: https://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=486158 Our stream will start at 9 or 10 AM EST! Hope you'll check us out and support us!

Giving back is a core value of Cisco’s culture and as part of the CSM + Meraki Marketing | 2022 Season of Giving Campaign it’s time for us all to take a pause and think about how we want to contribute to causes that are close to our heart. And there are many ways for us to give whether it’s time or though monetary means. Some may feel stretched thin and are unable to volunteer time so we encourage you to consider tapping into Cisco Bright Funds donation program. We’ve put together this team Bright Funds site to make donating a little easier. If this fund isn’t resonating then we encourage you to find a non-profit that supports what matters most to you. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.” Lets collectively contribute in some way this season and sprinkle a little more happiness to the world. Happy Holidays!

This Fund includes all past recipients of a GEM Foundation grant

'Tis the season to support our local four-legged friends in need! Local to the San Francisco Meraki team, SF SPCA is greatly in need of donations--whether it's your time, financial support, or essential products. Please give what you can, how you can, to support our PAW-some community!

November is a time to be grateful for what we have, but can also be a great time to share one's wealth and give to those in need. To that end, Austin Workplace is hosting a donation drive to go to the Central Texas Food Bank. They say that each dollar donated can create 4 meals, so our goal is to donate 1,000 meals, or $250. That is less than a dollar per Austin employee! Why not collect food for the drive? Financial donations go so much further when in the hands of CTFB- they can purchase goods at reduced prices through special vendor connections, use that money to purchase the items they need most, and ensure no food goes to waste in the process.
