Breaking Ground and Breaking Barriers!
On Friday May 4 th , Beacon held Groundbreaking Ceremonies to officially begin the six to eight month construction project that will double the size of the facility at Oracle and Glenn. Since the merger of Tetra and Beacon Foundation four years ago, we have continued to operate both facilities splitting jobs and staff between the two locations. By uniting the organization under one roof, Beacon will be better able to coordinate work and staffing, bring in more jobs and serve up to 50% more clients than we currently serve.
The Groundbreaking festivities began at noon with a balloon launch and pizza party for all Beacon clients and staff. There was a brief address by Beacon's President, Steve King, who then led a countdown and every one of the over four hundred clients released a green, white or gold balloon into the early afternoon sky.
