For the fifth consecutive year, Peninsula Girls Chorus has been selected for the 2013 Best of Burlingame Award in the Musicians category by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA).

The mission of the Peninsula Girls Chorus (PGC) is to engage the hearts and minds of girls and young women from diverse backgrounds through a comprehensive experience in choral music.  Their commitment to artistic excellence is supported by a rigorous music education and literacy program, leading to outstanding performances of the highest quality choral music that reflects humankind.  The program, which is headed into its 20th Anniversary Year, currently serves more than 200 singers, ages 8 to 18 from Los Altos to Pacifica.

The USCA "Best of Local Business" Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USCA identifies companies that they believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.

Nationwide, only 1 in 1000 (less than one-tenth of 1%) 2013 Award recipients qualified as Five-Time Award Winners. Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2013 USCA Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the USCA and data provided by third parties.
