CalPERS team members came together this fall to celebrate community, connection, and giving back through the annual @unitedwayccr Our Promise campaign.

From fall fun to charitable spirit, we’re proud to support #OurPromiseCA and the organizations making a difference across the Sacramento region and beyond.
