Relay for Life is a 24 hour team event that raises funds for the American Cancer Society’s research, programs, services and advocacy efforts. It is held in over 5,100 cities in the United States each year. Teams come out and enjoy music, fun and food- all while keeping one person on the track from their team for the entire 24 hours. Our event is founded on the principle- “cancer never sleeps, so neither do we.” It is a non-competitive but emotionally impactful event. We need you now! Relay for Life is looking for planning committee members and teams! Join up and help us to “Finish the Fight” against cancer!

San Bruno Patch Cub Reporter Greg Pierce reports: The San Bruno Force, San Bruno’s American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) U-19 Ladies team, has been selected to participate in the 2014 National Games taking place in Torrance, CA during the week of June 28 – July 6th. This is the first time in 12 years that a ladies U-19 team will be playing in the National Tournament.
The 2014 tournament marks the 50th anniversary of the AYSO, making this year’s tournament particularly special for the organization. To commemorate this special year, the AYSO will invite 24 teams to participate in brackets from the U10 age group through U19 for boys and girls. Roughly 240 teams from all over the nation will be converge on the cities of Torrance and Riverside in Southern California next summer to compete in these national games.
“We are excited for the opportunity to play in these national games. These young ladies worked hard the entire Fall season and will continue to work together to make this Spring season and summer competition successful.” says Team Manager and assistant coach Greg Pierce, “We are looking for a few more players to participate with us. This is a great group of young ladies that are ready to compete and are excited looking forward to the Spring and tournament season.”
The San Bruno Force is composed of young ladies from San Bruno, South San Francisco and Millbrae. They began playing together this past Fall season, winning the Area 2B and 2N championship against a very tough opponent from Foster City. Right now there are 12 young ladies on this team. Recruitment is still in process. Ladies ages 16 – 19, who have played AYSO soccer in San Bruno, Brisbane, Millbrae, Pacifica, Burlingame, San Mateo and Foster City are invited to inquire about this opportunity by calling Coach Greg Pierce at 650 291 6997 or contacting him at socball@sbhsi.com.
Fundraising for the tournament expenses began last Fall as the ladies and their parents operated the San Bruno AYSO league snack bar as well as a pumpkin patch. They will continue to raise funds during this coming spring season with possibly a raffle and a car wash. Sponsors are always welcome, and donations can be made online at https://fundly.com/san-bruno-force-ayso-u19-girls.
The AYSO is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Any donations made to this organization are tax deductible.

SAN MATEO COUNTY AND SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT SECURE CALIFORNIA COASTAL CONSERVANCY GRANT TO STUDY SEA LEVEL RISE
REDWOOD CITY – The California Coastal Conservancy announced yesterday that it will fund a $200,000 grant application jointly submitted by San Mateo County and the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to study the impacts of sea level rise due to global warming on the shoreline area northwest of the airport where the San Bruno and Colma creeks enter the San Francisco Bay.
“San Mateo County has more property at risk from sea level rise than any other county in the Bay Area,” said Board of Supervisors President Dave Pine who led the effort along with SFO to prepare the grant proposal. “It is critical that we understand the risks of sea level rise, assess our options, and protect our economic and civic infrastructure. This grant will help begin that effort.”
SFO and Supervisor Pine will convene a multi-agency working group to assess the study area’s vulnerability to sea level rise and prepare adaptation strategies. The study area contains residential neighborhoods that have been subject to severe flooding, habitat for threatened and endangered species, and substantial public infrastructure including two major highways, Caltrain and BART lines, the San Francisco Bay Trail, two sanitary sewage treatment plants, and multiple flood control channels and pump stations.
The study will complement the airport’s SFO Shoreline Protection Feasibility Study, the purpose of which is to develop a shoreline protection system that will protect the airport from flooding and rising seas.
“SFO is critical to the economy of the Bay Area, and protecting the Airport’s eight-mile shoreline from projected sea level rise is a priority,” said Airport Director John L. Martin. “We are currently undertaking a comprehensive shoreline protection study, and evaluating enhancements to our existing seawall. Our partnership with San Mateo County allows us to collaborate with communities adjacent to SFO to develop effective solutions for our shorelines.”
On January 23, 2014, the Coastal Conservancy awarded more than $3 million in grants under its Climate Ready program. Out of approximately 76 applicants, twenty grants were funded including the $200,000 proposal submitted by San Mateo County and SFO.
Work on the study will begin immediately and is tentatively scheduled to conclude by June of 2015.
