Shoot to Cure HD Event June 11, 2010
Making a Difference in the fight against Huntington’s Disease
It’s All About the Kids brought teens to the Shoot to Cure event at the Charger Training Camp! The event was full of food, beverages and Chargers! The most important part was a presentation by Huntington’s Disease that brought tears to our eyes. We learned about this terrible disease and how important the event is to raise much needed funds to help end this disease.
Teams competed by shooting hoops in order to win the title ! We didn’t win, but we had an AMAZING time! The teens got tons of autographs ! And photos with the players and Charger Girls! Our favorite food included Homie’s Cinnamon Buns, Vitamin Water and Tilted Kilt! Thank you to Stephanie, Natalie and Bill of Huntington’s Disease and Liquid Investments and Ron Fowler for inviting us! This is one of our favorite events of the year!

Thanks to Janine McCullough of Golden Eagle Farm, teens of It’s All About the Kids got to experience a rare occasion! Twin horses are very rare and most do not make it due to health problems. Janine invited us to the Del Mar to see them! The teens got to pet Sunny and Angel, and a few kids even got nibbled on! What a unique experience! After, the teens visited O’Brother’s Burgers in Horton Plaza for delicious burgers, fries and out of this world onion rings! All organic and fantastic!
Thank you Janine, Sunny and Angel and O’Brothers Burgers for a spectacular day!

Art with Tania Alcala at Alexander Salazar Fine Art Gallery
In continuing our mission to provide outstanding activities for the children of our alliance charities, on May 12, 2010, It’s All About the Kids coordinated a Difference for a Day wonderful ART activity! At the Alexander Salazar Fine Art Gallery in downtown San Diego, Tania Alcala’s art is showcased. 20 students from the Toussaint Academy [along with a couple of graduates] visited the gallery and had the opportunity to meet Gallery owner Alexander and Artist Tania. They each spoke on art and had a question and answer session. It’s All About the Kids provided sketch books and colored pencils for all the students and Tania asked the students to draw in a unique exercise. The teens were asked to draw in silence and you could hear a pin drop! It was an AMAZING experience and each student was encouraged and complimented on their work.
Thank you to Alexander and Tania who made this event so WONDERFUL! Thank you to the teens who embraced this activity! They now have sketchbooks to continue expressing themselves.
