Security 101® – SF Bay Area Announces Winner of the 9th Annual Gift of Security
Okizu to receive a free security system and installation as it rebuilds beloved Camp Okizu summer camp facility lost in the 2020 California wildfires
Security 101 – SF Bay Area today announced Okizu as the winner of the 9th Annual “Gift of Security”, designed to support a local nonprofit organization serving San Francisco Bay Area residents.
Okizu’s mission is to help all members of families affected by childhood cancer to heal through peer support, respite, mentoring, and recreational programs. Sadly, the organization’s “Camp Okizu” was badly damaged by a wildfire in September of 2020. “We are amazed at the way our community has rallied behind us as we recover from the fire, including showing up to vote in huge numbers during this contest. This security system will be a welcome addition to our new camp” said Suzie Randall, Okizu’s Interim Executive Director.
“We had a number of very worthy charities participate in our Gift of Security program this year. It is particularly gratifying to be able to assist Okizu in rebuilding its facilities after their recent fire so that they can continue their important work of supporting children coping with cancer” commented Rob Chamberlin, President of Security 101 – San Francisco Bay Area.
Last month a panel of Bay Area community leaders reviewed the nominations and selected three finalists for online voting.
As the winning organization Okizu will receive a surveillance system provided by Security 101’s equipment sponsors, Axis Communications, Inc. and WESCO Distribution, Inc. as well as professional installation, engineering and programming from Security 101 – SF Bay Area.
