We are thrilled to announce that Donor Boom has joined our business sponsors growing list!
Founded in 2021 by Sari McConnell, Donor Boom is a strategic fundraising consulting firm dedicated to empowering nonprofit organizations in the SF Bay Area to achieve transformative growth.
Sari is no stranger to the Burlingame community. As a longtime BSD parent and former BCE President, she has contributed her expertise and leadership to initiatives that have shaped the future of our schools. Notably, under her leadership, the BCE Endowment Fund was launched, achieving nearly $2 million in its first phase—an incredible milestone in our shared commitment to academic excellence. This partnership brings together Sari’s passion for philanthropy and our collective vision for Burlingame public schools.
Tell us a little bit about your family
Our family moved here in 2008 when our oldest son started Kindergarten. Since then, our three children have all attended Roosevelt Elementary and Burlingame Intermediate School (BIS). Our two sons graduated from Burlingame High School and are now in college, while our youngest, a proud 7th grader, is still thriving at BIS. As a devoted public school family, our family has embraced and supported the Burlingame education system every step of the way.
What do you like the most about the Burlingame Community?
We love being an active part of the Burlingame community: it is filled with people who care deeply about our city's residents and invest themselves in making our town a terrific place to live.
