With the Zaruka family's huge support of donating 28K + event hosting, Rotary Ventura South's amazing support from it's members, Jason's heartfelt Turning Point speech, an awesome event team led by Linda Zaruka, Josh Carsman, Suki Sir, Jackie Sanchez & Sam Monroe, numerous sponsorships, exceptional live & silent auction items, raffle, generous attendees, and volunteers (from nursing program at VC College)...it was Magic!
"Something just felt right!" 🙂

Thank you to the Temple Beth Torah youth program for the generous donations from their past festival. Hygiene kits, blankets, clothing, shoes, jackets and lots more! These donations directly helped those at our 24 hour walk-in housing shelter and our wellness centers.

Turning Point Foundation was proud to support Jim Duran & The River Community Church in it's efforts to shelter those who were unhoused during the past rainy weekend. Over 20 elderly individuals received a room for the weekend, a hot meal and a stay warm care kit.

Turning Point's Marketing & Events guy (aka Happyman) spent 4 days up at Ronald McDonald House Charities Camp Good Times leading "Be the Magic" workshops for transitional age youth (18 - 25) battling cancer. This session was the first of it's kind at the camp. It focused on mental wellness and self-care. Good to give back!
