I support many charities by attending fundraising events. 
These are some of my favorite charities.  Please visit their websites to see how you can help.
 

The Joe Niekro Foundation is committed to aiding in the research and treatment of aneurysm patients and families. Our goal is to raise awareness about aneurysm factors, causes, treatments and research.  All funds are used to educate the public about brain aneurysms, to support patients and families, and to develop awareness programs and educational materials for hospitals, clinics, and other institutions worldwide.

The 2009 Fundraiser held at Minute Maid Park in Houston was a phenomenal success.  Over $400,000 dollars was raised to donate towards Aneurysm Research.  It is Natalie Niekro's passion, daughter of Joe, to help future generations fight aneurysms by finding the cause and one day, a cure.  You generous support is appreciated. Keep reading for an easy way to help.

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A CRIME.
DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT IS.

San Diego is a beautiful place in which we live, but on some the beauty is lost. Many San Diegans sleep without shelter, go without adequate food or clothing, and live without hope. Homelessness in the United States has become a problem of epic proportions. Hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children live without shelter, security, or dignity and have nowhere to run.  www.sdhomeless.org.  Watch for information on our 2009 "Holiday Magic for Kids" Christmas party at Golden Hall in San Diego to bless the homeless and low-income children with Christmas gifts, surprises, entertainment and food.  Please contact me if you want to help.  December 19, 2009.
 

"It is the Mission of United One Productions based in Fresno, CA, to create unity in the community and to revitalize and restore "Broken" Neighborhoods and "Broken" souls by providing intervention, motivation, hope and opportunity for positive growth and direction, especially for our youth.

This concept has involved close collaboration between Law Enforcement who make the neighborhood safe and provide a visible presence so, City and County agencies and other community based organizations like United One Productions and other service agencies can safely enter the neighborhood."

I had the pleasure of working with the volunteers of United One on the Celebrity Golf Tournament held at Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club on August 20, 2009.  Their volunteer staff is an amazing group of dedicated men and women who want to share the what the Lord has blessed them with, with others.  Please watch for information on the 2010 Celebrity Golf Tournament and Christian Music Awards "Best of the Blessed".  In the meantime, take a look at their website and see how you can help.  www.celebritygolftournament.org or www.unitedoneproducitons.org
