Wells Fargo Donates $5K to Palo Alto Schools

Wells Fargo donated $82,000 to Peninsula schools Tuesday, including $5,000 to schools in Palo Alto.

Palo Alto schools receiving checks include Walter Hays Elementary, Barron Park Elementary, El Carmelo Elementary, Cesar Chavez Academy and Palo Alto High School. Each received $1,000.

The checks were presented during a breakfast in Foster City Tuesday morning.

Wendy Haller, president of Wells Fargo’s Peninsula market presented the grants. “In addition to the countless hours that our team members spend volunteering in local schools, we are proud to provide funding directly to schools throughout the Peninsula,” said Haller. “By hosting this breakfast event and providing funding to schools, we want to personally say ‘thank you’ to the educators in our communities and provide resources to help purchase schools supplies or other pressing needs.”

According to Wells Fargo, the company has donated more than $16 million to schools and nonprofit organizations for educational purposes in the greater Bay Area since 2009.
