Several Hacienda executives participated as the Pleasanton Partnerships in Education Foundation raised $60,000 at its Fifth Annual CEO Dinner, held last month at the Shrine Event Center in Livermore. Hacienda's ProBusiness helped sponsor the event.

Park executives, pictured at left, waited on tables of their invited guests, who competed in rewarding their "waiters" with tips which could in turn earn them the "Most Appreciated CEO" title.

The funds raised at the event go to PPIE's Grant Making program, which supports classroom education in Pleasanton.
