High fives all around! For the fifth year running High fives all around!

For the fifth year running, CalPERS recently joined the @bestbuddiesca Friendship Walk at North Natomas Regional Park in Sacramento. 

Our team of 23 helped raise $1,150, making us the third highest fundraising corporate team. With a record turnout of 865 walkers, it was a day full of smiles, memories, and support for friendship and inclusion. 

Thanks to everyone who participated and made a difference! To learn more about the great work this nonprofit does throughout the nation, visit BestBuddies.org.
