What do you enjoy most about working as a Loaned Executive on the OP campaign?
Meeting others from different State Offices and the impact of helping awareness of all the local Non-Profit Organizations in our community.
How long have you been involved in or volunteered with the campaign?
I have been given through the State Campaign for the past 20+ years, I started when it was a $2 minimum to donate!
What inspires you to give through the campaign?
I am inspired by my father’s Jim Clark Memorial Scholarship –which is administered by the Cosumnes River College Foundation and Our Promise, each year a student-athlete at the Community College is given $1,000 to continue their education at a 4-year University. To date, we have given out $14,000 through Our Promise/ CRC Foundation.

- CRC- Jim Clark Memorial Scholarship to help student-athletes in the community college level in honor of my dad.
- California Black Chamber of Commerce to support the causes of the radio station.
- National Collegiate Preparatory Charter High School to support the founder and dear friend educate the boys/girls in the Washington DC area. This school has a 95% graduation rate and most students continue onto a 4-year University back on the East Coast.
