HAPPY TRAILS FOR KIDS

Happy Trails for Kid’s mission is to provide children in foster care with enriching outdoor adventures, invaluable mentorships, and a year round community, where youth are given opportunities to develop leadership skills and prepare for life after foster care. Nearly one hundred times a day, a child in California is placed in foster care because of severe abuse or neglect. Happy Trails for Kids believes that fostering continuity and belonging through extracurricular activity is a critical intervention in combating the challenges of foster care and promoting success.

DIGNITY NOT DESPAIR

Dignity Not Despair:  is a non-profit organization that donates makeup and hygiene products to female refugees. By donating these items, they aim to help these women maintain their dignity, a sense of normalcy, give a bit of hope, and as a result, promote emotional and mental well-being. In 2016, they volunteered to assist with the Syrian refugee crisis.  While handing out donations, two women pulled them aside and shyly asked them if they had any makeup.  They were struck by this request, and it continued to resonate with them after they came home.  Providing food, shelter and clothing in crisis situations is essential, but they also realized that there is a need for goods that help provide something equally important, which is one's dignity. 

PHASE ONE FOUNDATION

Phase One Foundation: has raised more than 20 million dollars and has supported over 30 groundbreaking cancer clinical trials and treatments. Alberto Valner and his mother were both diagnosed with very different types of cancer within days of each other.  At the time, little was known about his mother's type of cancer.  She passed away within days of Alberto being told he was "all clear" and cancer-free. Alberto and his wife Stacy, this experience galvanized them to act and PHASE ONE was founded.  They gathered a small group of friends in Los Angeles to support early cancer research.  Their mission was to find treatments that will transform what might be terminal illness into hope for a full and productive life.
