Spotlight on our Corporate Sponsors – PG&E

PG&E was recently named to The Civic 50 list for the third year in a row in honor of all the company’s philanthropic efforts. In 2013 PG&E gave out grants totaling $23 million to over 1,300 charitable organizations, and PG&E employees raised more than $6.5 million and volunteered more than 48,000 hours to improve the communities where they work and live.

First Graduate® is proud to work closely with PG&E and their dedicated employees.
