• Awarded seven new scholarships to college students through partnerships with the Rotary Club of Menlo Park and the Peninsula College Fund
• Made multiple grants to cancer organizations, including Stanford Cancer Institute
• Hosted four blood drives on the Menlo Park Labs campus that generated more than 110 units of blood, potentially saving hundreds of lives through Stanford Blood Center

In the three years since its inception, the Tarlton Foundation has raised and donated nearly $350,000 to benefit cancer research, and donated or pledged more than $150,000 to local organizations, touching tens of thousands of lives through participation in scholarship programs, blood drives, food drives, toy drives, and community events.
