Jenny Lin Memorial Service

Community


Castro Valley will gather on Friday evening to remember Jenny Lin, whose May 27, 1994 murder remains unsolved.

The Jenny Lin Foundation supports a free, six-week summer Youth Music Program. Here is link to the 2015 Summer Youth Concert.

You can make an online donation in support of the Foundation.
