Join Me in the Walk to Cure Diabetes
08.30.13
Join me in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes on Sunday, Nov. 3 at UC Irvine. You can team up with JDRF, the only global organization with a strategic plan to fight type 1 diabetes for a fun morning 5K walk with family, friends and co-workers. JDRF's plan will progressively remove the impact of T1D from people's lives until it is no longer a threat to anyone. Walking doesn’t cure diabetes, fundraising does and the first step is to register your team at here.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas loses the ability to produce insulin—a hormone essential to digestion. It can happen to anyone at anytime. More than 15,000 children and 15,000 adults in the United States receive a diagnosis each year. The walk starts at 9 a.m. at University of California, Irvine at 4242 Campus Drive in Irvine. The JDRF staff is always there to help. If you have questions, just call the office at 949.553.0363.
Want to know other ways you can help support JDRF? Marshalls is selling sneakers all month long. Stop in your local store and say, Thank you! Last year Marshalls raised more than $50,000 in Orange County!
And, Schlotzky’s Deli is doing a promotion through September as well. Stop by the Brea store and say thanks if you’re in the neighborhood. 2500 E. Imperial Hwy Brea. 714.256.1100.

Dollars for Diapers
08.29.13
Orange County based Child Abuse Prevention Center just partnered with Causora to raise funds to bring diapers and baby care items to its families. It’s a great program with a win-win incentive. If you donate $20 to their Dollars for Diapers Campaign, you’ll receive a $20 voucher to one of Causora's partner spas or merchants in the area. You’ll be rewarded for giving back and you’re credit will never expire.
Local merchants participating include Mystique Salon and Spa in Huntington Beach, Brooke’s Spa Room in Laguna Beach, Bluebird Bodyworks in Huntington Beach, in Fullerton Spine & Wellness Center in Fullerton, Social Mobile Massage in Orange.
The Child Abuse Prevention Center serves at-risk children and families in crisis to prevent and break the generational cycle of child abuse.
