Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, and Networking for Charity

By 1 Comment

What do Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, business in the Sacramento area, and local charities have in common? If you’re near the Holiday Inn in Rancho Cordova tomorrow, come on out to the “Networking for Charity” event. I’m really looking forward to connecting with local businesses, as well as representing Project 680, one of the charity organizations to benefit from this festive networking event.  

From the Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce website:

Join the Holiday Inn Rancho Cordova and the Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce in raising money for local charities. Not only will we be raising money for our community, but there will be over 50 business exibitors to network with. Food and entertainment will be provided by Holiday Inn Rancho Cordova. All the proceeds will be going to the local charities. We are excited to be presenting this event on December 3, 2010 from Noon to 5:00 pm

December 3, 2010, 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM

The Project 680 hoody drive raised 687 hoodies!!!

By 2 Comments

If you’ve been spending any time reading this blog (thank you), you’ve heard me talk recently about Project 680 and a drive to collect 680 new hooded sweatshirts for homeless students in the Folsom Cordova Unified School District. Well, last night we had our finale celebration at Rancho Cordova City Hall and I am very pleased and excited to officially announce we met our goal of 680 hoodies since we counted a total of 687 hoodies last night.

It’s been amazing to watch the community rally together for the sake of homeless students in the FCUSD. Local residents, businesses, churches and organizations really stepped up their game to to make this happen. Thank you everyone for your team-oriented mindset and support, whether big or small. 

Here is a brief video I shot to give you a glimpse into last night’s festivities.

 

Three weeks left in the Project 680 Hoody Drive

I wanted to share with you that there are three weeks left in the Project 680 Hoody Drive. It’s been great to see everyone get involved so far, and I’d love to see others embrace the vision too. We definitely have some work left in our quest to collect 680 hoodies for homeless students in the FCUSD. Let’s keep going strong and advocate for homeless kids in this very practical and relevant way. If you have any questions or a desire to get involved, let me know.

By the way, this was the first video I took with my Flip Ultra 4GB video camera. I am really excited to have this camera. The lighting wasn’t great and there is a freeway close by, so settings weren’t ideal, but overall I am impressed with the quality so far for a $150 product. Are you a Flip owner?

Project 680 Hoody Drive launches in September 2010

Beyond appraisals, Project 680 is something really important to me, so I wanted you to know what is going on. We’ll be doing a community hoody drive beginning this month. This is such a simple idea and practical way to advocate for local homeless students. Together we can make a difference. 

If you can’t see the video in RSS, click here. There are many ways to get involved in the flow of what we are doing (the video explains it all). Even if you aren’t local, I’d love to have you join forces and definitely take a photo for the photography contest. I’d love to have some blog readers submit photos. That would make my day.
