Snowballin’
A year’s worth of preparation culminated at this year’s annual Snowball Express charity event (the last to be held in California). MJSE helped coordinate the third day of this multi-day event with Oakley at the Anaheim Convention Center. ”A Day in California” was the theme and everyone from Knott’s Berry Farm to Dave & Buster’s came out to help put a smile on the faces of children who have lost one or both parents in combat since 9/11. With about 3,000 attendees there HAD to be plenty for the kids to do. We brought in three enormous bounce houses; a “house” filled with Tarina Tarantino baubles and interactive jewelry-making stations; a pro-skating ramp with demos by Oakley sponsored athletes; and dozens of other stations sponsored by a slew of generous donors. The families were treated to a day of fun filled with gifts and entertainment. A good time was definitely had by all! Special thanks to my girls at MJSE – Amafel, Amanda (pictured below with Nestor Carbonell), and Briana.
