I enjoyed last year’s campaign so much that I couldn’t wait to get started again. Together, we raised $8.7 million for our favorite charities. I am proud to say this was the most we’ve ever raised and the biggest annual increase in the history of the campaign. It was truly a fantastic year, and working with so many wonderful and compassionate volunteers was a tremendous inspiration. In fact, my belief that Californians are the most generous people in the world is stronger than ever, and I know that we can set the bar even higher this year. Thank you for all of your great work, and I look forward to another record-breaking campaign.
