We were given the amazing opportunity to donate shoes to Glendale YWCA. These ladies are empowering girls and advancing racial Justice. We are so delighted that we were able to help the women and children they serve.

We love to see the kids excited about the shoes we have to give them for their dedication and hard work in the classroom.

Shoes4grades blessed these respectful young men with team shoes yesterday for their work hard on the court and throughout the school year.

Why do we push education because it matters to our entire community to all of us, whether or not we have children or grandchildren in schools.  A good education leads to:
* build a stronger, better educated workforce,
* help attract the talented, able people we need to run our businesses, our educational and cultural institutions and our many non-profits,
* help attract and retain high quality, environmentally friendly employers offering good, well-paying jobs,
* reduce school dropouts, delinquency, crime, incarcerations, and welfare costs,
* increase property values,
* support the local economy and
* enhance the quality of life for all of us- for the entire community.

Dodgers night with these guys. So honored to be in their lives and being a positive role model for them. We have over 200 people that joined us tonight thank you to the
