St Maria Goretti Fire Victims Donation Drive 

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Bombas for their unwavering support during our 5-year partnership.

Your dedication and commitment to our shared mission of providing basic necessities to those in need have been truly invaluable.

We are especially grateful we were able to donate 500 pairs of socks to St. Maria Goretti School. This generous contribution will undoubtedly make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by the devastating fires in Altadena and Pasadena. Your support will not only bring comfort and relief to those individuals but also inspire hope within the community.

We are proud to be associated with Bombas and deeply appreciate the positive impact that your organization continues to have on our initiatives. The collaboration between our two organizations has exemplified the power of working together towards a common goal and has reinforced our shared values of compassion and empathy.

Once again, thank you for your ongoing partnership and generosity. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and making a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Exciting Opportunity to Support Our Community! Watch our advertisement on this years Banning High School FALL sports Schedule 

Dear Community,

You answered the call and excited to share a unique opportunity for us to come together and support our local nonprofit in a way that will greatly increase our visibility and outreach!

This fall, we will be featured on posters displayed at Banning High School and in high-traffic areas around the city of Wilmington. These posters will highlight the various organizations that support our youth and their sports programs, giving us an opportunity to connect with more community members than ever before.

The best part? The posters are provided at no cost to the school, which means our contributions will directly support this exciting initiative. You supported $175 for a bleacher-sized poster ad.

This will support and help us grow, gain exposure, and enable us to continue our grassroots movement to assist those in need in our community whether they are children, adults, families, students, citizens, or veterans.

Thank you in again for considering this opportunity to support our mission and help us make a positive impact in our community. Together, we can make a difference!

Warm regards,

Tony

Dear Community Members,

I hope this letter finds you well. Today, I am reaching out with a heartfelt message about the importance of coming together as a community to address the pressing issues we face, particularly regarding homelessness and the challenges faced by those who are displaced.

 

As many of you know, our organization has been dedicated to finding solutions for homelessness, a crisis that affects not only those who are homeless but also our entire community. We have been actively in the past exploring collaborative opportunities, such as our partnership with Chaplain T.M. Babcock on "Helping the Homeless: A Service Guide" and the impactful work of Mike Boyce through "Homeless." Most recently, we have partnered with Robert Craig Films on their project, "No Address," which shines a light on this urgent issue.

 

Despite our efforts to raise awareness and motivate action through emails, social media, and community outreach, we have encountered overwhelming silence. While it may seem easy to dismiss this issue as someone else's problem, I assure you that ignoring it will not lead to change. For over a decade, attempts to address homelessness through quiet efforts, but as we have witnessed, these challenges have only grown.

 

The reality is that homelessness, like COVID-19, is a persistent problem that requires our collective attention and urgency. We must recognize that it won’t magically resolve itself; change will come only when we accept the problem and work together to find solutions. Even the smallest ideas can lead to significant impacts if we support them as a community.

 

I urge you all—our friends, neighbors, and local leaders—to foster conversations about homelessness in your daily lives. Speak about it at home, at school, and in the workplace. Don’t allow important discussions to fade away; let’s keep this issue at the forefront of our minds and actions.

 

Let’s seize the current opportunities before us and create a movement that brings about real, tangible change. Together, we can build a community where every individual has the support they need. I welcome your thoughts, ideas, and widespread involvement as we embark on this journey together.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this important message. I look forward to your response and hope to see many of you actively engaged in these efforts.

 

With hope and determination,

 

Tony

Banning HS Academic Jackets Fundraising

Feb 28, 2025

Hi, here is the FINAL update and changes to the campaign.

First, we would like to say that change is good; it can bring new opportunities for growth, innovation, and improvement. It can inspire fresh perspectives, challenge the status quo, and lead to personal and collective development. Embracing change often encourages adaptability and resilience, which are essential for thriving in an ever-evolving world. With that being said, here is the campaign update.

Most of the students have been able to afford the jacket themselves through other financial opportunities. The number of students that were in need had gone down from 30 to 7. The amount needed had also changed and decreased from $1,500 to $350, and the due date has changed from Tuesday, February 25, 2025, to Tuesday, March 18, 2025. As of Thursday, February 27, 2025, the amount collected is $ 765.00 exceeding our goal.

Thank you to Alexandra Trujillo, Etna Preston, Allison Reyes, Monica Rodriguez, Anna Marrufo, Rachel Valadez, Nadia Duarte, Love Donor Tia GM, Mrs. Dieguez, Lupe A Rosas, Lorie Geluz, Johana Rendon, Banning High School Teachers and Itzel Monzon  for completing this donation campaign. Please share via social media, email, text, and in person that you all exceeded this goal.
