Help Disabled Children and Trek to Annapurna Base Camp

Here at Rockwell Realty, we really stress the importance of giving back and community involvement...hence our tagline, Connected to Community.

I truly enjoy volunteer work and making a difference in somebody's life. My latest philanthropic endeavor is with The Rose International Fund for Children (TRIFC.org).  I have been asked to lead a group to Nepal to complete a 10-day trek to the Annapurna Base Camp.  Our goal is to raise a minimum of $15,000 to go towards medical, educational, and vocational programs to help children with disabilities.  We have been busy getting all the details of the trip ready and all of the fundraising tools to make this a reality.  It is going to be an amazing adventure and we will all have the chance to see how these donations are helping children with disabilities thrive in a country whose government and society hinder their opportunities.
We are still looking for people to join us for this adventure so if anyone is interested send me a message and I would be happy to pass along the details!

"Girls on the Run" Needs Running Buddies

Puget Sound's chapter of "Girls on the Run" is looking for volunteers to serve as Running Buddies for this year's 5K.

I'm a volunteer coach at Greenwood Elementary School this year and it is a blast! Please come join us in this year's 5K on Saturday, Dec. 12th -- it's non-competitive and you'll be helping an 8-11 yr old girl learn to live healthy and have a positive self image as she completes her first 5K, and we bet you'll have just a little bit of fun doing it too!

If you'd like to learn more about the program or other volunteer opportunities, please feel free to contact me (Stephanie) or go to the website: www.girlsrun.org
