In March, KRON4 visited the Brady barn to film an interview with Sarah and one of our client families, as well as new San Francisco Zoo & Gardens CEO, Cassandra Costello. A heartfelt thank-you to Cassandra and our client family and volunteers who gathered on short notice to share their experiences and support the program.
