Day 1:  La Jolla Cove|Wind and Sea

Labor Day weekend seemed to be a good time to find a volunteer opportunity to Give Back to the Community since the new 4-day work week policy provided us with the two glorious 4-day weekends in 2 months.  I figured I could spend a day volunteering and still enjoy a full 3-day weekend!  I came up with this great idea a few days before the holiday and found that my search for volunteer opportunities available on short notice was coming up empty. 

For several years now, PaperFree has had the distinct honor of donating to this great cause. The annual golf tournament raises funds each year for the PointtheWayFoundation (www.pointthewayfoundation.org). This foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting charitable endeavors for the families and children of military communities nationwide. The charity has donated to numerous military, community, and children organizations over the years.

For years I have reached out to friends and family to help me reach my annual fund raising goal for this great cause. This cause is dedicated to the early detection of Breast Cancer with an emphasis on men and women under the age of 40. Inspired by athletes everywhere, local communities come together to fundraise and help in detecting potentially life threatening Breast Cancer occurrences. PaperFree is a big part of my family and we all support this cause each year in hopes of making a real difference for those in our community who might be at risk.

A couple times a year, my family, friends and I help build awarerness, raise funds and donate our time for walkathons and bike races for Cystic Fibrosis in San Diego.  For the most recent walkathon, we raised over $6000 to help find a cure for CF.  We have now been participating in the CF events for almost 10 years.  The great part about these events, they help bring the CF community together as well so many other people.  Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that affects mostly the lungs but also the pancreas, liver, kidneys, and intestine.
