Helping Education in Westchester and Playa del Rey

SIT for a cause is participating in a local cause – Saturday, May 21 – the 2011 Race for Success 5K Run/Walk and the 1K Kids Run. Hosted at Loyola Marymount University, the beautiful course runs through the campus and is a great place to bring the whole family. And a fun way to bring charity closer to home. We'll have more after the event.

The proceeds from the Race for Success benefit the local elementary, middle and high schools in Westchester and Playa del Rey. This event has been able to raise funds each year to save programs that would otherwise have been cut due to decline in budgets. Each year our schools face financial hardships and must find many ways to raise more funds just to maintain existing programs and staffing levels. Specific allocation of funds is at the discretion of each school's Parent Teachers Organization.

There’s more news coming on the subject of education – an exciting proposal for Westchester Senior High School. Principal Robert Canosa-Carr has an inspirational pitch that must be seen and heard. Stay tuned...
