Burnham Center for Community Advancement

Congratulations to the CEOs recognized at @SDBusiness' CEO of the Year Awards! We are especially proud for our very own Nonprofit CEO of the Year, President @tadsethparzen, who co-founded BCCA alongside Malin Burnham just two years ago. We are lucky to have him!

We're bidding farewell to X in our pursuit of a stronger, more interconnected community. This platform no longer aligns with our mission. Join us on Facebook and LinkedIn as we continue this journey together. This is our last tweet, but it is not the end of our story.

Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all who served—and there are many in San Diego. Our region is home to the third largest veteran population in the country. Here's a handy guide to all of this weekend's events across San Diego County: sandiegouniontribune.com/local/story/20…

More than 1/4 of unhoused in SD are Black, a disproportionate # that deserves more attention. Thank you @UPLIFTSanDiego for shining a light on this glaring aspect of our homelessness crisis. Happy to join regional leaders like Eric Dargan, to discuss new approaches to the issue.

We're proud to be a member of @SDCatalyst, a community of funders seeking to build an equitable, impactful, and effective social change ecosystem for our region. Congrats to Catalyst Pres. Megan Thomas on a wonderful event last month. Keynote speaker @DoloresHuerta was inspiring!
