Charitable Causes
These are some of the charitable organizations or community groups that I either support directly, or indirectly through public appearances and speaking engagements.
Voices for Children is a nonprofit organization that provides advocacy and mentoring services to the foster children of San Diego County. Their endeavor is to ensure that abused, neglected and abandoned children who have become dependents of the San Diego County Court will have a safe and permanent home. Through their network of trained and educated volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), Voices for Children works with key agencies, legal counsel and community resources to identify and protect the best interests of each child inside and outside of court. This is an incredibly worthwhile cause, and since its inception in 1980 its volunteers have helped over 45,000 abused and neglected children.
