We are thrilled to report that Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC (LLNS) once again selected ACFPA for their 2019 Community Gift Program.

On Thursday November 7, 2019, Gwen McWilliams (ACFPA President) and Anita Peters (ACFPA 2nd Vice President), attended a reception hosted by LLNS and accepted a check for $3,000 on behalf of the ACFPA Scholarship program.

We are truly grateful for this gift and extremely appreciative of LLNS’s ongoing support and generosity.
