Its been a very busy few months! We had two of our biggest events in October, Pace for Peace and the Shelter Rebuild Auction Fundraiser. Weeks of planning, endless meetings, phone calls and emails and so many logistics phew! - it was exhausting work!

But it was made easy by so many of you! Whether you helped for the Pace or the Fundraiser, you made a big difference.

Yay you!

Pace For Peace

Our annual Pace for Peace was, Saturday, October 1st. It was our 25th year and we had a great turn-out with runners and walkers with their families, friends and pets. The weather was great and everyone was happy to be there Thank you to National Charity League - Vista Oak and Livermore chapters for helping us get prepped and ready for Race Day. It was nice to see some of your familiar faces participating and supporting us!

Thrive & Rebuild Dinner

We had a fabulous sold out event on Saturday October 22nd for rebuilding Shiloh - our domestic violence shelter! Our Auction Fundraiser was very successful and once again we were blown away by the kind community we have been blessed with.

A ginormous shout out to Debby, Anastasia, Christine, Kathleen, Noelle, our Uncle Team - Grecia, Jeri and Helen who braved the chilly winds and checked in our guests efficiently, helped with the auction and check-out. A huge thank you to the young energy from Pleasanton Boys Team Charity for doing all the heavy lifting - we couldn't have done it without any of you.

I am happy to report that we exceeded our goal and received close to 200K! Woohoo!
