The Society has donated $1,500 to start the fundraising effort. We encourage anyone who would like to help bring back the sheen to the historic cupola to join us. Please direct donations to: Burlingame Parks Forever Foundation (EIN 46-1124191); 850 Burlingame Ave., Burlingame, CA 94010. Please specify:“Old City Hall Cupola Project”.
