The following are the Foundation's 2020 grant recipients:Alum Rock Counseling Center, San Jose, CA (Awarded $2,500)The Alum Rock Counseling Center (ARCC) delivers programs designed to keep at-risk youth safe, attending school and living lives that are free of juvenile justice and dependency systems, substance abuse and violence. GO2 Lung Cancer Foundation, San Carlos, CA (Awarded $4,000)The GO2 Lung Cancer Foundation is devoted to eradicating lung cancer through research, awareness, education, early detection, and treatment. Community School of Music and Arts (Awarded $2,500)The Community School of Music and Arts (CSMA), located in Mountain View, CA, is dedicated to making the arts and arts education accessible to all, regardless of age, skill level, background or financial means.Kara, Palo Alto, CA (Awarded $4,000)Karas mission is to provide grief support for children, teens, families, and adults.

In addition, during 2020, the Beth Longwell Foundation provided $5,000 college scholarships Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the BLF was not able to hold its annual fundraising event during 2020. Our annual newsletter became our primary source of fundraising. The amount of funds raised during 2020 was less than prior years due to these circumstances.$18,254$18,000
