Such an honor to conclude the 2024 LAR Fashion Show by presenting checks to four outstanding Stanislaus County nonprofits:
• AFSP Stanislaus County: Our local chapter of the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention, dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by su***de. This one is especially close to my heart after losing my best friend of 20 years nearly seven years ago to su***de.
• Enrich & Employ: Breaking employment barriers by providing job skills training through the operation of a beloved local restaurant and ice cream parlor. (icecreamcompany.org)
• Without Permission: Supporting and empowering victims of human trafficking right here in our community.
• ASTRO Foundation: A volunteer-based organization rescuing and rehoming cats and dogs from the Oakdale and Riverbank areas. (bestfriends.org)
Grateful to have been part of this journey from planning to this final moment. ❤️
