III. Upcoming Events with CAST.
1.)
Los Angeles Marathon & CAST: 3/6/2005
CAST is happy to announce
the 4th Annual, Women Running Against Trafficking in
Humans (WRATH) fundraiser that will take place on Sunday,
March 6, 2005 at the Los Angeles Marathon.
Last year’s run was particularly special, as a
CAST client completed the marathon for the first time
with two staffs and a board member. The 2005 WRATH run
is continuing this tradition, with a new client joining
the team. She has been training hard since last fall
to be able to complete the 26.2 miles in order to raise
funds for CAST and its clients. This will be a great
opportunity for CAST to raise our profile in Los Angeles
and to draw attention and support to the issue of human
trafficking. You can support CAST by either donating
to their WRATH fund, or else come join PbP as we show
our support for CAST and its clients by stopping by
or helping out at the CAST information table at the
marathon.
Please
contact Jamie de los Santos at (213) 365-1906, ext.
10, or jamie@castla.org
or Ngoc Nguyen at (714) 473-1020, ngoc.nguyen@projectbyproject.org
for more information.
2.)
CAST Volunteer Training Orientation Meeting: 3/12/2005
To kick
off the partnership and help get volunteers in motion,
CAST has graciously organized a volunteer training session
especially for PbP! This is a great opportunity to learn
more about CAST and how to volunteer directly with their
clients at the Volunteer Training Orientation Meeting
on March 12, 2005, from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM.
PLEASE NOTE: This is the LAST chance to attain training
to volunteer at CAST. Volunteers interested in participating
and assisting directly
with CAST clients and the shelter are highly encouraged
to attend this training.
