We chose National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), a national charity association focused on providing hope and help with early detection, education, and support services through every step of the breast cancer journey.” Harmony.

School on Wheels 

“In April, our SG Gives Back team members were Robin, Gabby, Jacob, and Britany. We felt drawn to an organization focused on helping educate homeless students from K-12 – notably because one of us experienced homelessness during high school. This cause is close to our hearts. We chose School on Wheels, an organization that provides free academic tutoring to children living in motels, cars, group homes, and on the streets in Southern California. Our donation provided training and support for volunteers as well as scholarships, laptops, backpacks, school supplies, and books for the students.” Robin

We chose Casa Hogar la Ciudad de los Niños Mazatlán AC, or Casa Hogar, because they do just that! Casa Hogar is a safe and secure place for unhoused and orphaned children in Mexico. They currently provide shelter and care for over 30 kids. Our donation provided much-needed repairs and maintenance from everything from the plumbing to the playground.” Alexys
