SKECHERS - NOTHING COMPARES TO FAMILY
The SKECHERS USA, Inc. "Nothing Compares To Family" promotion, slated to run through 2009, stars some of today's popular celebrity families and benefits children's charities with ads breaking in celebrity weekly magazines and other fashion and lifestyle glossies. Skechers plans to rotate a variety of different celebrity families throughout the campaign, featuring mothers and small children and adult celebrities with their sisters, brothers, parents and grandparents.

ELEVATE HOPE SPONSORS VISTA DEL MAR MUSIC CENTER
Elevate Hope Foundation (EHF) sponsors Vista Del Mar's Arts Enrichment Program's Music Center. The music center has been remodeled and refurbished with installed new computer workstations, recording equipment, software, and even new paint and curtains for the three rooms was donated by EHF. The three rooms have been designated for 1) Audio Instruction, 2) Live Instruction & Rehearsal, 3) Control Room for Recording & Pre and Post Production. Powered by Mac-Mini computers, the music workstations feature M Audio keyboards. Headphones have also been provided to allow private listening, while flat screen monitors display musical notation and software instruction. Additional instruments and study supplies will be provided to complete the curriculum requirements for the summer and fall classes.
The first course, "Garage Band 101", began on Monday, July 7th, for 14 students. As a result of the overwhelming response and interest from the students to participate, many students are on a waiting list for the next available semester.
It's a reality because of people like you who have supported EHF. We hope that we can count on your continued support for future events and programs, as we work towards saving more lives through music and the arts. From the bottom of our hearts, we'd like to thank all the angels who have offered their support to see such a program come to fruition.

Elevate Hope Foundation is glad to announce that it has started a new relationship with Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the well-being and care of children and families in Southern California who suffer the emotional, physical, psychological and social consequences of abuse, neglect and abandonment.
Founders Sheila E. and Lynn Mabry had the opportunity to tour the facility in October 2007 and become acquainted with the amazing work the directors, developers, and staff are doing to make a difference in the lives of these children. It was clear the positive impact this facility has on the children as well as the community. We look forward to establishing a lasting relationship with Vista Del Mar as one of our beneficiaries, and with our collaborative efforts and passion, provide the tools so critically needed.
