PEOPLE

donation to Monarch School for every

person who signed up on its website by
May 31. Furthermore, for each signup,
Fitn will donate $1 per workout to
Monarch School.
The Clif Bar Family Foundation
gave an $8000 grant to local nonprofit,
Sustainable Surplus Exchange. The two
organizations share several parallel
missions reducing waste while
conserving resources and producing
green jobs. Sustainable Surplus diverts
unnecessary corporate waste from the
landfills by providing companies a
direct channel to repurpose their out-ofuse assets to local schools and nonprofit
organizations. SSE has repurposed $1
million of assets to more than 240 local
organizations since its launch in 2011.
This effort kept 200,000 pounds of stilluseful items from going to the landfill.
