What is MyCastroValley.com?

MyCastroValley.com is a self supporting online community resource.
We are financed through local company sponsorship. In exchange for sponsorship, we offer acknowledgement through advertisement.

MyCastroValley.com is essentially a community website, that is privately run. Instead of sapping up public funds like some city and county sites do, MyCastroValley is self supporting through advertising. The more financial support we received, the better and bigger the site becomes. We also share our revenue with our community. In 2001, MyCastroValley donated over $1,000.00 to CV sponsored events and organizations. This year we hope to double that. We also strive to participate in positive community events. MyCastroValley played an integral roll in the Castro Valley For Humanity campaign that raised over $27,000 dollars for the FDNY and Red Cross. We are currently assisting in the Campaign for a new sports field at CVHS and are providing a (no advertising) non biased Election 2002 sub-site.
