The Founding of the PCRF-SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
In the summer of 2005 a group of concerned community members who were familiar with the PCRF gathered to determine how to help contribute to the PCRF. That was the beginning, today the chapter is 36 members strong and growing.

Who We Are
The Bay Area Chapter of the PCRF is composed of a diverse group of people concerned about the welfare and the health of the arab children in conflict zones. The activities of the group are focused on fundraising, providing support for visiting children in the Bay Area, and outreach.

Our Mission
To help relief the pain and suffering of arab children in conflict zones. The PCRF chapter in the Bay Area has dedicated volunteers committed to helping and increasing the effectiveness of PCRF through fundraising, community outreach, and supporting visiting children under treatment.

In 2006, the chapter organized 3 main fundraisers and was successful in raising a total of $250,000 for PCRF. The Bay Area PCRF chapter helped find and coordinate with host families for arab children treated in the northern california area, the chapter also provided social activities support for the treated children. Last, but not least, the group was active in participating in community outreach activities to help educate the community about PCRF and its work. The northern california PCRF chapter provides an energetic and rewarding volunteer environment, we look forward to you joining us.
