2026 Q1 Impact Awards

Hey Everyone!!  Happy Friday!
It was so exciting to be with you all last week for the first event of 2026!!  And we had some AMAZING charities present to us.  But I'll get to that in a bit.

First off, I want to thank our amazing partners at Ayzar Inc and Ayzar Outreach for their invitation to participate in the Jobs of the Future Summit.

Their program is incredibly aligned with the mission of 100 CTC, and the event is going to be exceptional.  I would love for as many of us to be there as possible.
The event details are here. (and attached)
But the Ayzar Outreach team has given all 100 CTC members a direct invite and the ability to register directly here.
You can also reach out to Shirin (shirin@ayzarinc.com) or Nika (nika@ayzaroutreach.org) directly.  They're also copied here.

As for the event itself... WOW.  We had 3 very different but equally impactful nonprofits.

It was amazing ot hear about the work that TACA is doing, not just in OC but on a national level, to support families whose children have autism.

And hearing about the MILLIONS of meals Chef Bruno and Caterina's Club have served to people in our community is mind blowing.

But overall, the organization awarded the most impactful on the day was Project Kinship - for the work they are doing to help those in our community affected by incarceration, gangs, and violence.  Well deserved!!!

And of course... HUGE thanks to Keeping Every Girl Free for sending Cynthia to share an update from their organization while April was on Capitol Hill fighting to help save others impacted by human trafficking. How amazing that we were able to support the work they are doing!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all at the next event on May 28th, and hopefully some of you at the Ayzar Outreach Summit on April 11th!

Stay awesome,
