May 2015
Leader Appreciation Dinner
On May 13, SRLA thanked the 500 volunteer leaders who make our program possible with a dinner at the Sportsman's Lodge in Studio City. Special recognition was given to our 2015 STAR Award Winners: Mike Smith from Venice High School, Anita Hoch from Chatsworth High School, Veronica Medina from Dodson Middle School, and Melanie McClaren from Hawthorne High School. 

Check out this amazing recap of our season through the eyes of our Leaders. Our program would never be possible without the passion, inspiration, and countless hours they provide to our students.

Celebrating Dreams

On May 3, more than 200 of SRLA's graduating high school seniors gathered at American Honda for the Celebrating Dreams graduation event. Along with SRLA, American Honda hosted Ride For Kids, which held a scenic motorcycle ride through the Palos Verdes Peninsula benefiting the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. SRLA's seniors were on hand to kick off the ride before participating in their own 5K fun run, followed by a post-race lunch. The UCLA Blood and Platelet Center was also there, and several of our students and Leaders donated blood as a final SRLA Cares project of the season.  View more photos of the event on our Facebook page. 

Take Me Out to the Ballgame...
 
On Friday, April 17, almost 800 SRLA students, along with their Leaders and family and friends watched as the Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies. SRLA students and Leaders from 8 schools were recognized in centerfield prior to the game, while 4 middle school students had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take the field with the Dodgers and receive autographed baseballs.  The event raised $4578 for SRLA!  View official photos from the event.
