SCS receives support from annual events and special activities. There is absolutely no cost to the agency for any of these events, so 100% of dollars contributed supports our clients and programs. We are extremely grateful to the generous donors who provide these fundraising events and to those who participate.

Dinner at the Dump, A Trashy Affair
Saturday, June 23rd, 2012 - Jerry and Julie Nabhan and Rebecca Buldo of Specialty Solid Waste and Recycling (Sunnyvale’s garbage company) host a fantastic annual event held not at the aromatic dump itself but in the corporate parking lot. Sunnyvale Rotary Club is the event sponsor for the second year in a row. The terrific food includes appetizers and the best barbecued steak, chicken, and salmon you’ve ever tasted, grilled to perfection by Sunnyvale Public Safety Officers. It’s the event of the summer for business and community leaders in Sunnyvale and Silicon Valley! There is a raffle with terrific prizes as well as a silent auction. Proceeds benefit SCS and several other nonprofits. This trashy affair is not to be missed.
