Are You Bay Area Proud?
Updated 5:26 PM PST, Wed, Oct 21, 2009
What does it mean to be Bay Area Proud?
It’s the student in Palo Alto who teaches kids in a crime ridden neighborhood about the healing properties of art.
It's the woman in Oakland, dedicating her life to sending hundreds of kids to college year after year after year.
It’s the farmer in Livermore fighting to save our breathtaking landscape, or the Silicon Valley scientists and engineers developing technologies that may just save the planet.
It's the people who make the Bay Area such a great place to live. We're passionate about this part of the world, and we're not afraid to roll up our sleeves and work to make it even better.
