A flood relief fundraiser started by San Mateo mayor Amourence Lee has already garnered nearly $50,000 in donations after recent storms battered the city.
after a gust of wind from the atmospheric river brought down a neighbor’s tree that was large enough to crack the house open.
So far, the fund has raised about $25,000 in small donations, but Lee has been busy trying to get bigger donors to help — and it’s worked. Bohannon Northwood Joint Venture, owner of the Hillsdale Shopping Center, donated $10,000, as did CalWater and Windy Hill Property Ventures, a Palo Alto-based developer. Other donors like Lane Partners and Prometheus have donated $5,000 each.
Lee is no stranger to coaxing big donations for political causes on the Peninsula; she based this fundraising campaign on a Peninsula-wide effort during COVID-19 to help childcare providers suffering during the pandemic.
