"It belongs to everyone who helped me along the way - the entire community. I would like nothing more than to help our children win gold medals at the 2012 Olympic Games, and that's why I'm working hard to bring the Olympic Games to the Bay Area in 2012. Please join us!"
- Brandi Chastain
U.S. Olympian, WUSA Bay Area Cyberrays

from the help of over 3,000 volunteers thus
far. From working on the original bid submission

supporters have worked together to achieve
one common goal: to bring the 2012 Olympic
Games to the San Francisco Bay Area!
