Description

About the organizer

Organized by
Rob Angel

Everyone has their passion in life... Mine was found with the passing of my dear friend and business partner Gary Everson of AIDS in 1995.  He was a dedicated advocate for the local non-profit Inspire Youth Project, (formerly Rise N’ Shine.) So, now, by extension, so am I. My long-time dedication to the success of Inspire Youth Project (IYP) has never wavered. Just as from my first experience with the staff 15 years ago, I remain in awe of their advocacy of and dedication to these kids. The life-lasting care and lessons learned are inspiring examples of what IYP has accomplished! In fact, I have been so inspired I became the Board President of IYP influenced in large  part by the real growth and measurable success that I’ve seen every year. They have earned my respect and admiration. The AIDS epidemic and its terrible aftermath is far from over. Our children suffer the ongoing pain and confusion that comes with an immediate family member afflicted with HIV/AIDS. That never goes away. Ever. Now, because our mentor-ship, counseling and advocacy programs are so strong we have expanded IYP's reach to also touch the children of Childhaven. We have now taken their kids under our wing to nurture them and guide them on their journeys.
