Dear Change-Maker,
Countless children in Los Angeles lack the family and community support structures required to be healthy and happy. These kids do not have access to typical educational resources and recreational outlets. Instead, they are surrounded by high crime rates and drug use. They struggle to make it safely through the school day, cope with a tumultuous home life, or get enough to eat – let alone receive the necessary guidance, instruction, and interaction.
An alarming 35% of LA School District high school students dropped out last year. More alarming is that it doesn’t have to be this way. The sooner we can provide children with the tools they need to be effective leaders, and the more often we can connect with them, the bigger the difference we can make! Our interaction benefits not only the child, but also the child’s family, friends, community – and thus, our communities, and yours.
Activating our Natural Leaders transforms our World.
As you may be aware, the KVBL Natural Leaders Program provides empowering, hands-on education to children in the Los Angeles area who are otherwise limited in what they see as possible for themselves and their futures. In the last four years, funds donated to the KVBL have been used to provide:
Teamwork and leadership training and exercises.
Emotional growth coaching, affirmation exercises and personal development support.
Basketball training with the Venice Basketball League’s best players and other celebrities.
Yoga, body alignment, and fitness training from certified fitness professionals.
Surfing instruction from world-renowned experts.
Sustainability, environmental and creative arts education and experiences.
Healthy, organic breakfasts and lunches, along with nutrition education.
Your sponsorship provides children with the resources, mentors, and experiences to activate the Natural Leader within each of them. Upon completion of the program, children return to their families and communities, empowered to lead by example and transform their worlds.
Without your support, we cannot continue providing children with this game-changing opportunity. Enclosed you will find more information on available sponsorship opportunities. To support our Natural Leaders or ask any questions, please contact me at your convenience.
With gratitude,

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recover

Ronnie Lott’s IMPACT Extends Beyond the Football Field
to Communities and Individuals in Need
The Pacific Club IMPACT® Foundation Announces its First Ever IMPACT Partner Charities, including Miracles for Kids,
in Recognition of their Community Impact and Releases The Lott IMPACT® Trophy 2013 Watch List
Newport Beach, Calif. (May 23, 2013) – Football legend and Hall of Fame inductee, Ronnie Lott, continues to make a big impact on
and off the field with his presence at last Thursday’s May 16, 2013 The Pacific Club’s Lott IMPACT® Trophy Luncheon where, in
addition to announcing the annual watch list of 42 players, the Foundation also, for the first time ever, announced three IMPACT
Partner Charities who share their commitment to make a difference in the lives of children– Miracles for Kids, the Anaheim Boys &
Girls Club and the Pat McCormick Foundation.
“The IMPACT Partner Charities provide children with the opportunity and courage to dream; to pursue their passion in life; and
provide them with the ability and confidence to be their very best,” said Robert Cristiano, president of The Pacific Club IMPACT®
Foundation. “Specifically, Miracles for Kids makes a difference by helping children fighting life-threatening health issues and their
families who may be economically challenged to support their children through treatment. What they do provides children with the
ability and opportunity to be the very best – and this is the guiding mission of our IMPACT Partner Charities.”
The Foundation with the three IMPACT Partner Charities are poised to make a bigger impact than ever as their announcement
comes on the wave of a major Foundation milestone that was 10 years in the making – surpassing over $1 million in funds raised for
scholarships and charitable donations.
The Foundation celebrated this major achievement at the luncheon, by presenting the barrier-breaking $5,000 check to Lott’s
former alma-mater, Rialto Eisenhower High School. However, in his unwavering spirit to always do better and compete, he also
challenged the Foundation and room full of football all-stars and supporters by saying, “Let’s build on the tremendous fundraising
momentum we have achieved by raising another one million.”
While the Foundation has generously given to numerous charities in the past, this is the first year it has chosen to formally partner
with charitable organizations in order to impact community change on a larger scale, improve the lives of children, develop new
opportunities to get involved and meet Lott’s challenge to raise more. The IMPACT Partner Charities are eager to take this challenge
on for the benefit of children in need.
“We are honored to be partnered with The Pacific Club IMPACT® Foundation and The Lott IMPACT® Trophy that are passionately
committed to improving the lives of children,” said Autumn Strier, president of Miracles for Kids. “The Lott IMPACT® Trophy honors
those college defensive football student/athletes with strong character and those who are tenacious in their fight on and off the
field, and the Foundation supports the youth in America who embody those characteristics. Those are our Miracles kids – I see them
every day battling for their life, with extraordinary strength and tenacity – and I know that someday they will be honored for who
they are – similar to the 42 nominees of the 2013 Lott IMPACT® Trophy we are here to celebrate today.”
The “Miracles kids” referred to by Strier is just one group in dire need that will undoubtedly be positively impacted by the
Foundation’s continued mission and goal of supporting its IMPACT Partner Charities. They are the children served by Miracles for
Kids, an Orange County-based nonprofit organization that provides critically-needed financial aid and other support to low-income
families with children battling cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Miracles for Kids runs various, hands-on, programs to help
alleviate the extreme financial and emotional crisis families experience while battling for their child’s life. These programs, in
addition to providing financial aid, also deliver food, clothing and school supplies, provide healthcare solutions for the uninsured,
and offer wellness activities for patients and their siblings.

Mobile Miracles by VOTEL Mobile Helps Keep Loved Ones Connected
with Newly Launched “10 Phones for 10 Families” Program
Low-income Families with Critically-ill Children are gifted mobile phones and service through
VOTEL Mobile and Miracles for Kids 10 for 10 Program
Orange, Calif. (Wednesday, June 12, 2013) – Reliable, mobile phone service was made a reality, at no cost, for 10 low-income
families with critically-ill children at the Tuesday, June 11th 10 for 10 Gifting Event by VOTEL Mobile, a national mobile carrier, and
longtime charitable partner, Miracles for Kids, a Southern California-based nonprofit organization with the mission to improve the
lives of children battling cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. The phones, service plans and gifts - all provided at no cost -
were presented to the families by VOTEL Mobile and Miracles for Kids at the Miracles for Kids Family Resource Center Sponsored by
Personalcare Physicians in the new tower at CHOC Children’s Hospital (CHOC). The gifted phones provide the families with a means
of reliable communication – an essential necessity while fighting for their child’s life.
During the intimate gifting event, Miracles for Kids’ families met one-on-one with the VOTEL Mobile Team, including CEO Jeff
Javidzad, and shared their moving stories over breakfast, coloring activities and games. The mother of 13-year-old Evelyn, fighting
Ewing Sarcoma, was especially moved to receive the gifted phone and service – something she previously could not afford. With
expert onsite technical support from VOTEL Mobile, families like Evelyn’s, seamlessly activated their new phones. VOTEL Mobile also
provided personalized gifts to each child, giving things like an Iron Man action figure to a smiling, three-year-old Ivan, fighting
Medulloblastoma. The goal was to create a special morning for these families and their children, while helping to alleviate just some
of the financial and emotional crisis that results from battling for a child’s life.
"Miracles for Kids is deeply honored to be partnered with VOTEL Mobile. The 10 for 10 Program enables our families with critically-ill
children to stretch their already scarce funds even further to better afford other essentials such as rent, food and medical co-pays.
We are very thankful VOTEL Mobile recognized and helped fulfill this need, and we can't wait to see how this partnership will
continue to grow," said Miracles for Kids President, Autumn Strier.
VOTEL Mobile is leading the way in how traditional mobile providers interact with the community by becoming more involved and
helping to fulfill a tangible and immediate need. “VOTEL Mobile’s commitment to giving back to the community is now even
stronger, as we proudly expand our partnership with Miracles for Kids,” says Javidzad. “We are so very excited to launch our new
joint campaign, the 10 for 10 Program. We are proud to be a part of this program, and are happy to support all the amazing efforts
by everyone involved.”
Miracles for Kids and VOTEL Mobile first teamed up in late 2012 with the “Keeping Loved Ones Connected” Program in which each
new purchase of an unlimited mobile plan resulted in a ten dollar donation to Miracles for Kids and a customer bonus of twenty
dollars off their purchase as a thank you for their support.
