The East Bay Business Times honored Mark Ballock, President of the San Ramon Arts Foundation, this fall with a cover article about Mark's businesses and his work with founding the Arts Foundation.

Quotes from the article:

"As president of the San Ramon Arts Foundation, Ballock has been instrumental in raising tens of thousands of dollars for the performing and visual arts."

"My passion right now is with my photography busines and the Foundation. Even though I do not make a cent from the Foundation, it's just something I love to do," Mark said.

"Ballock is shooting to have grants of $30,000 to $35,000 next year. In addition to returning the Messiah performance to the city's holiday events in 2006, the Foundation hopes to provide arts scholarships in 2007."
