Pasadena Meal Donation Drive To Support Eaton Canyon Firefighters Announced
The Eaton and Palisades wildfires in Los Angeles are already the most devastating fires in recent memory, both in terms of structures burned and sheer financial impact. Now, one Eaton Canyon-area restaurant is stepping up to offer their assistance to the thousands of firefighters who are currently battling the blaze, as per a recent announcement. To find out more, visit https://www.elmatadorpasadena.com/category/enR5W El Matador, an authentic Mexican restaurant located only a few miles from the origin of the Eaton blaze, is inviting anyone interested in providing material aid to the firefighters to donate through their website. They will be providing free meals and drinks to local firefighters, funded entirely through this donation drive. As NBC News reported in the initial stages of the fires, the community response to the Eaton and Palisades fires has been immense. In their reporting, they interviewed experts who suggested that the best way to contribute to the disaster relief effort was to donate to specific organizations, such as El Matador, who are on the ground offering their assistance directly to those in need. El Matador is accepting donations in 30, 60, and 100 dollar increments, which will provide 1, 3, and 5 meals to the Eaton Canyon fire department, respectively. Donations will pay for a full meal including entree and sides, including a drink, all in the interest of supporting the ongoing efforts of the firefighters holding the blaze only a few blocks from the restaurant itself. Under normal circumstances, El Matador serves a full menu of traditional Mexican cuisine, including chicken, beef, pork, and fish dishes. Popular options include their selection of wet burritos, their specialty taco offerings, and their soups—which are available Monday through Friday only. For now, however, those interested in donating are encouraged to do so exclusively online due to the imminent danger imposed by the fire. This is an evolving situation, and those in the immediate area should defer to government guidance regarding evacuation orders and safety status, especially in the face of the recent strong winds. The El Matador firefighter relief funding drive can be found at the link below. Donations are accepted through online payment systems and credit cards only.

Aurizon, Australia’s leading rail-based transport company, proudly announces the latest recipients of its Community Giving Fund. This initiative supports charities and community organisations nationwide, reflecting Aurizon’s commitment to enhancing the communities where our employees live and work. The fund provides grants of up to $20,000 to local projects in education, community safety, environment and health and wellbeing. Andrew Harding, Aurizon’s Managing Director & CEO said the grants are welcome support for local non-profit organisations crucial to the well-being of communities within Aurizon’s operational areas. “We are delighted to support the regions where over 80% of our employees live and work,” Andrew said. “Through our Community Giving Fund, we have the privilege of giving back and making a positive impact on the lives of people in these areas.” In this funding round, 23 outstanding recipients have been chosen, ensuring that Aurizon continues to contribute meaningfully to the communities it serves. “For example, in South Australia, we are proud to support Youth Opportunities Australia by funding a 10-week leadership program for young people in the Whyalla community.

By normalising mental health conversations and promoting positive help-seeking behaviours, they aim to empower the youth. “In New South Wales, we are thrilled to support Newcastle Men’s Shed by funding the construction of a raised platform and ramps at the rear of the shed.

Additionally, part of the funding will be used to install dust extraction pipes and repaint the bathroom facilities. “In Western Australia, we are delighted to support the Carbon Neutral Charitable Fund by funding the purchase of seedlings, mulch and other materials to launch an urban forest initiative in Usher, Bunbury. This fast-growing native forest will help reduce temperatures, boost biodiversity and create a wildlife corridor, fostering a cooler, greener and more resilient community. “In the Northern Territory, we are proud to support the Tradeswomen Australia Community Foundation by funding scholarships for women pursuing trade careers in the rail industry. These scholarships will cover essential costs and provide mentoring to reduce financial stress, increase apprenticeship retention and ensure completion. The aim is to help bridge skills shortages in essential trades while promoting diversity, inclusion and long-term career success in the industry,” Andrew said.

KFI's Pastathon Raises $1 Million+ & 79,000 Lbs Of Pasta For Caterina's Club
KFI AM 640 has hit a bonanza as its 14th annual PastaThon benefiting Caterina’s Club raised $1,002,069 and 79,000+ lbs. of pasta/pasta sauce on “Giving Tuesday,” the pinnacle of its two-week+ fundraising effort. LA’s #1 talk radio station broadcast live that day at the Anaheim White House Italian Steakhouse and fans gathered to show their support. Expectations are that these initial figures will climb as event sponsors Wendy’s and Smart & Final continue to draw donations at the former’s Southern California restaurants and the latter’s retail stores in CA, AZ and NV. In addition, cash donations are continuing to pour into Caterina’s Club headquarters (451 W. Lincoln Ave #251, Anaheim, CA 92805) via check and through its phone lines 657-201-3278. On Giving Tuesday, hundreds of the station’s fans showed up with cash and in-kind donations in hand and many were able to meet their favorite hosts as well as Caterina’s Club founder Sir Bruno Serato, who also owns the critically acclaimed Anaheim White House Italian Steakhouse. While on air, Serato explained that the donations not only feed the children, but help find permanent housing for families in need and train at-risk youth for careers in the hospitality field. “We are incredibly indebted to KFI and its many, many fans who made this year’s PastaThon so successful,” says Serato, who revealed that the nonprofit Caterina’s Club will turn 20 next year. “This is our biggest fundraiser of the year and it makes all the difference in keeping the program going. This truly is a community event cemented by the good folks of KFI.” Caterina’s Club was founded in 2005 by Sir Bruno Serato who named the nonprofit after his beloved mother. For his humanitarian work, Serato has earned international acclaim including profiles in People Magazine, LA Times, “CBS Evening News,” “NBC Nightly News,” “ET,” “EXTRA,” “Access Hollywood” and countless other outlets. Among his many honors: CNN Hero, knighthoods by the Italian government and House of Savoy, Ellis Island Medal of Honor, papal blessing from Pope Francis, humanitarian award on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, and numerous proclamations, Man of the Year awards and other forms of recognition -- all of which he accepts to generate public awareness of Caterina's Club.

Switzerland Fundraising Platform For Solidarity & Community Campaigns Launched
Happy Pot has been rolled out in Switzerland to give a home to a number of important causes, including charity organisations and fundraising efforts that will provide relief to those in need around the globe. The platform also welcomes individuals and organisations looking to crowdfund for local events and includes specialised support for that specific purpose. To find out more, visit https://www.happypot.ch While platforms such as GoFundMe have fallen under scrutiny in recent years for various reasons, Happy Pot has been developed to expand the accessibility of fundraising while also offering a secure home for all campaigns hosted there. Specifically, they offer a range of customisation options and quality-of-life features that are intended to make the crowdfunding process smoother for all involved. This launch comes at a time when mutual aid and community fundraising have gained critical importance for a range of causes around the world. Meanwhile, many leading fundraising platforms have demonstrated an inability to facilitate the kind of broad-scale mutual aid that has proven necessary when mobilising disaster relief efforts. Speaking on the topic, the co-founder of Mutual Aid Disaster Relief stated, “It's about sharing resources, but it’s also about sharing power. Everybody gives what they're able and receives what they need in a way that breaks down power imbalance,” a quote which encapsulates the mission at the core of Happy Pot and crowdfunding platforms in general. Organisers explain that Happy Pot is intended to reduce the complexity of crowdfunding while increasing transparency regarding factors like platform fees and security. They have also implemented broad-scale measures to prevent fraud - a problem that has long plagued the fundraising industry. Those looking to raise money for local causes will find a range of tools to do so, the team explains in their launch announcement. Users can choose from a range of event options that are intended to speed up the setup process, alongside options to promote campaigns to a public or private audience. Happy Pot is available now throughout Switzerland with plans to expand to other nearby countries already underway. Those interested in launching a campaign or donating to any of the many campaigns already underway can do so by visiting the platform's website.

Bangladesh Non-Profit Child Malnutrition Crisis Solutions: New Report Released
Lotus Ministry Trust’s latest report is a comprehensive breakdown of its child malnutrition initiative in Bangladesh, assessing its nutrition, community education, and sustainable farming programs, and considering new strategies that may help expand its current reach. For more details, visit https://www.lotus-ministry.org/post/bangladesh-child-malnutrition-fight-lotus-ministry-trust-solutions-strategies Lotus Ministry Trust seeks to improve the lives of children and their families by ensuring they have access to basic necessities. By carrying out a critical analysis of its child malnutrition initiative, the non-profit organization hopes to improve its operations and better mitigate the impact of Bangladesh’s ongoing food crisis. According to the Bangladeshi national statistics featured in Lotus Ministry Trust’s report, growth stunting affects around 36% of children under five, while underweight children account for about 33% of the under-five population. Lotus Ministry Trust highlights the root causes of child malnutrition across the country, ranging from poverty, poor infant feeding practices, and a lack of education, to environmental factors like frequent floods and cyclones. The organization then showcases how its culturally appropriate food provisions, nutrition education workshops, and farming training address those root causes. While Lotus Ministry Trust’s report features the successful outcomes of its initiative, such as a 10% reduction in stunting rates at targeted districts and overwhelmingly positive testimonials from local communities, it also addresses significant setbacks such as the logistical challenges of reaching remote, rural areas and the lack of infrastructure. As such, Lotus Ministry Trust is moving to implement more mobile health units, take advantage of mobile apps and online platforms for outreach, adapt better to traditional dietary practices, and collaborate with local and international partners to increase the impact of its child malnutrition efforts. Since 2021, Lotus Ministry Trust has provided food and education relief to the local districts of Bangladesh, looking to support the country's most vulnerable populations. By embracing technology and social media, the non-profit organization continues to fight for practical and meaningful change. “Lotus Ministry Trust has demonstrated that by employing innovative solutions, adapting to local needs, and fostering strong partnerships, it is possible to make a tangible difference in the lives of children and their families,” said a spokesperson for the non-profit organization.

Additionally, customers can help spread the festive cheer for SecondBite at Coles Liquor stores with donations being accepted in all Liquorland, First Choice Liquor Market and Vintage Cellars stores, or by purchasing Local Brewing Co.’s Surplus Citrus Hazy Pale at Vintage Cellars or First Choice Liquor Market with 40 cents from every four-pack sold going to the cause.3 With DASH Water infused with wonky fruit and Local Brewing Co. using Coles Brand bread that would otherwise go to landfill, this year’s Christmas Appeal will not only be raising funds for people in need but will also be supporting sustainability initiatives to reduce food waste. SecondBite was founded nearly 20 years ago with the mission to address food insecurity by rescuing quality, nutritious food to give to people in need for free. Today, their essential services reach more than 1,000 local community partners across Australia, playing a vital role in feeding those who need it most. SecondBite CEO Daniel Moorfield said funds raised will help SecondBite to feed Aussies who are doing it tough during the holiday period and beyond. “We all know that Christmas is a time of celebration, but unfortunately, it can also be a tough time for many Aussies who are struggling to put food on the table,” he said. “By supporting the Coles SecondBite Christmas Appeal you can help make a genuine difference. The funds raised will help us provide ongoing food relief to those who need it most and address the increased need that our charity partners face over the holidays.

World AIDS Day Reception, December 1, Celebrating Art, Education & Progress
Indianapolis, IN (November 27, 2024) - The Health Foundation of Greater Indianapolis (THFGI) announces a World AIDS Day Community Reception on Sunday, December 1, 2024, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Indianapolis Public Library - Central Library. This family-friendly event combines visual art, live performance, and HIV education to commemorate World AIDS Day. The centerpiece of the reception is the #CelebrateUU Art Campaign, featuring 25 personal narratives from Hoosiers living with HIV in the era of U=U (Undetectable = Untransmittable). This photography exhibition demonstrates how individuals maintaining undetectable viral loads through treatment have zero risk of transmitting HIV to sexual partners. The reception will feature a wide range of activities, including: A Drag Story Time at 2 p.m., with readings from "Hope for Ryan White," a new children's book written by Dano Moreno and illustrated by Hannah Abbo, that introduces HIV education to children aged 4-8 in a thoughtful and accessible way.

Mike Siaperas’ Range Valley Ranch Hosts Donnie Edwards’ BDF Stronghold Program
Mike Siaperas, founder of 106 Reforestation, Range Valley Ranch , and the Atlantis USA Foundation, exemplifies creative problem-solving. His personal journey, growing up as the son of immigrants and dreaming of owning a ranch, resonates with many. He realized his dream with over 2000 acres in Utah, transforming his life and others. Driven by determination and a passion for innovation, Mike became an expert in high-altitude restoration, recognizing the vital role of aspen ecosystems. His work in fire mitigation, habitat restoration, wildlife management, and watershed development has spotlighted the critical need for reforestation. By cultivating community engagement and educating the public on the benefits of aspen trees for ecological balance and carbon sequestration, Mike stands as a champion for a greener, healthier planet. Another significant turning point in Mike's journey happened during an event with Bo Jackson, the well-known athlete and advocate for veterans. This experience inspired him to establish Atlantis Lodge and the Atlantis USA Foundation, which are dedicated to helping veterans transition back to civilian life. By fostering a sense of belonging and purpose, The Best Defense Foundation BDF (BDF) and the Atlantis Foundation play a vital role in addressing the unique challenges that veterans face, ultimately promoting their quality of life. Meanwhile, at Range Valley Ranch, the focus is on fostering connections. Mike uses his ranch to provide therapeutic experiences that aid in rehabilitation through many unique activities. Recognizing that veterans’ journeys often involve both physical and emotional challenges, his aim is to help reduce the symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression as well as give them a different path than suicide. By focusing on personal growth, healing, and the calming influence of nature, the ranch has become a true sanctuary for veterans seeking peace and rehabilitation. Together, these organizations create a robust network of support, emphasizing the importance of community and collaboration in helping veterans navigate the challenges of reintegration into civilian life. Mike’s commitment to veterans and their well-being extends beyond his own initiatives. While Mike’s projects focus on personal growth and environmental stewardship, he joins forces with other organizations, specifically BDF, founded by former NFL player Donnie Edwards, to serve veterans by providing vital resources and mentorship, particularly those from special forces, as they transition to civilian life. Through its Stronghold program, BDF offers essential resources and mentorship to help veterans adjust and thrive, addressing reintegration challenges while promoting community empathy. Hosted at Mike Siaperas' Range Valley Ranch in Utah, the Stronghold program combines veteran support with ecological responsibility. Mike's innovative technology for managing overgrown, fire-prone forests is a testament to his forward-thinking approach and enhances the program's impact. Participants engage in meaningful work that benefits both the landscape and their sense of purpose. The collaboration between the Donnie Edwards’ Best Defense Foundation and Mike Siaperas' Range Valley Ranch not only assists veterans in their transition to civilian life but also promotes environmental stewardship, creating a powerful impact on both individuals and the wider community. This inspiring partnership is a beacon of hope for the future. Both Mike Siaperas and Donnie Edwards have shown how one person can create significant change for communities and the environment. Their journeys connect personal dreams to collective well-being. Through Mike’s reforestation and veteran support efforts, he promotes healing and environmental stewardship. As he expands his efforts beyond Utah, Mike is inspiring others to pursue their dreams and demonstrates the power of determination for a sustainable future.

Screen Legend Sophia Loren Makes Splash Over Weekend In Support Of Nonprofits
Screen legend Sophia Loren took center stage this weekend at an exclusive event held in Santa Monica benefiting two Southern California nonprofits — the Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra, which was founded by her son Maestro Carlo Ponti in 2013, and Caterina’s Club, which was started by Sir Bruno Serato in 2005 to feed underprivileged children (some 25,000 hot pasta dinners per week), find permanent housing for families in need and train at-risk youth for careers in the hospitality industry. Supporters were able to meet the Oscar-winner at a reception held just prior to a performance by the Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra that featured Italian tenor Pasquale Esposito. “What an unforgettable event highlighted by an incredible evening of fine food, exquisite music and, of course, the First Lady of the silver screen, Ms. Sophia Loren,” said Serato, an Italian native whose close bond with Ponti led to a friendship with Loren. “Ms. Loren’s unwavering support of the Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra and Caterina’s Club is evidence of her exceptional kindness, big open heart and generosity of spirit. I can’t imagine ever enjoying another evening as much as I did on Friday night. It was beyond special and a memory I will hold dear forever.” Under the direction of Ponti, the Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra serves as a catalyst in supporting music education through collaborative partnerships with communities, schools, agencies and other arts organizations, with 100% of net income from performances supporting music study. At a time when school budget cuts are putting such programs at risk, the Los Angeles Virtuosi Orchestra promotes a world in which every young person has access to music education. For more information, visit https://lavirtuosi.org . For his work on behalf of Caterina’s Club, Serato has earned international publicity including profiles in People Magazine, and has appeared on countless TV news and talk shows including “The Drew Barrymore Show,” “Access Hollywood,” “CBS Evening News” and “NBC Nightly News.” Among his many honors: CNN Hero, knighted by both the Italian government and the House of Savoy, Ellis Island Medal of Honor, a papal blessing from Pope Francis, a humanitarian award on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, and numerous proclamations, Man of the Year awards and other forms of recognition — all of which he accepts to generate public awareness of Caterina’s Club.
