2009 Day at the Beach Testimonials
From Our Amazing Shelter and Children Partners:
I wanted to open with a big thank you. I have been receiving such great feedback about the event. Pastor Horn and Brandy Horn stated that everyone can't stop talking about the event and are very excited about the potential collaborative opportunity that can take place between PS I Love You and the mentor program. Also, there seems to have been some really good connections made between the mentors and the youth (to include commitments to continue a relationship.)We so appreciate the offer to bring such an exciting opportunity to our youth. I was informed that one of the children stated that the event was "the best day of their life". So, please consider us in the future. We are looking to pull together a larger group of youth and mentors next year if provided the opportunity to do so.
Thanks again - Andrya Markham-Moguel, Department of Children and Family Services, Hawthorne, CA
I wanted to write you to thank you so very much for allowing Foundation for Second Chances to participate in P.S. I Love You’s 9th Annual Day at the Beach. Our mentors and youth had an incredible time, and I feel this is an experience that they will be remember throughout their lives. It really was a privileged and blessing for us to be with you all on Saturday. As someone who does event planning, I want to say how impressed I am with the level of organization I saw on Saturday. I still can’t wrap my mind around how a small group of women can engage and mobilize so many volunteers and youth and throw such an outstanding event. The day lacked nothing, and I am in awe of all the fun activities and wonderful gifts you were able to provide the children. You are truly some incredible women with amazing hearts, so pleasant to be around, and such hard workers! This is even more evident in the caliber of kind-hearted and helpful people you are able to attract to this event. It was such a pleasure for all of us to be in the company of some truly great and enjoyable folks.
Please keep me posted on any upcoming events that you would like help with. I would really love to keep in contact with you all and support your good work. I also can’t wait for our super fab T-Shirt Design Booth that I would love to head up next year. Thanks you again from the bottom of my heart. It was an honor to collaborate with you ladies.
Thank you -- Tiffany Ferrara, Foundation for Second Chances, Program Manager
From Our Wonderful Mentors & Volunteers:
It was fantastic. So well organized. You did a magnificent job. I hope to do it again.
My wife & I had a GREAT time and enjoyed spending the day with our child on the beach!!! Can't wait to do it again-)
You change lives! What an amazing event. So proud I had the opportunity to experience it.
Thank you for an amazing opportunity. I very much enjoyed spending time with the children and meeting new people. I think P.S. I Love You is a great organization and it is wonderful that you had the heart and strength to found it. I look forward to working with you again in the future. You have no idea how eagerly I awaited this day. This is the only event in my life that I don't cancel no matter the circumstances. This time I brought some friends with me and they loved it as much as I do. The emotion is such, that I don't find the right words to use to thank you for this opportunity. Organizing this event must have been an overwhelming task so the thanks and accolades go from me to each of you. We, the volunteers on the sidelines (so to speak) just stood back in amazement at a job well done. The joy seen on the children's faces was worth every trudge back & forth through the sand to refill the meter & I would do it again in a heartbeat! You and your team are amazing! I was a first time volunteer. I just wanted to take a minute to THANK YOU for your amazing efforts and foundation! I had such a great experience and time being with my child for the day & participating in all the great activites. I was forwarded an email from a friend of mine a couple months back about this event and right away I thought this would be for me. I am a huge lover of children and can't wait to volunteer again with your foundation. Congratulations on a great event! Thank you for putting on such a great event for such a great cause! You did a great job and I had a great time with my child.
