The purpose of the annual Day At The Beach "Adopt a Child for One Day" is to bring the community together through an easy and memorable event that allows adults to mentor, give back and share time and hope with underprivileged children living in our nearby communities (cities include South Central Los Angeles, Compton, Watts and Long Beach).
The goal is to give positive experiences to both the child and the volunteer by uniting over 500 people: 250 community volunteers share a day filled with one-on-one love, hope and laughter with over 250 at-risk children ages 5 to 12 from local shelters, schools and the Department of Child and Family Services.
The at-risk children and mentors are provided with all the needed items for this day of fun, including t-shirts, boogie boards, backpacks with school items, food, drinks, toys and games, as well as face painting, surf lessons, make-up lessons, dress up photo booths and relay races.
I had the privilege of attending the 2014 Day At The Beach “Adopt a Child for One Day” event put on by PS. I Love You Foundation. I had a fantastic time and can’t wait to do it again next year. Keep your eyes out for my post next year so you can sign up too!
Here are some pictures of me as a mentor with my mentee for the day!
