Still smiling... ❤️🎶 Here’s a look back at some of our favorite moments from Jamming for Joy: A Feel Good Funkraiser. Thank you to everyone who made this unforgettable afternoon possible!
Highlight Reel 7/8: All the Feels
If we’re being completely honest, the main objective for our Jamming for Joy Feel Good Funkraiser was not just raising money. (It was a close second. I’ve already mentioned fundraising is not my strong suit! 🥴)
Our biggest goal was to simply throw the bestest backyard block party with loads of live jams, good food, good drink, and happy people who left saying they couldn’t wait for next year! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED - on both counts actually!
Check out the smiles, laughter, dance moves and glorious pics by @rosswhitaker to see what Jamming for Joy really looks like! And if anyone wants to jump on the planning committee for J4J2027, hit me up… what’s better than throwing a banging party AND helping the youth of our communities thrive at the same time? 🕺🏾

Attention Everyone! We have got a killer Total Health Tuesday this week with two very special guests and you are NOT going to want to miss this one!
Griffin Colapinto @griffin_cola and Hannah Johnston @hannadjohnston believe that meditation and journaling can be powerful tools for navigating life’s challenges, pursuing your dreams, and living with purpose.
Griffin is a professional surfer and 2024 Paris Olympian competing at #12 on the World Surf League Championship Tour, where mental strength and focus are essential to performing at the highest level. Hannah is a student at San Diego State University studying Communications, with aspirations of becoming a therapist and yoga teacher. They met in their hometown of San Clemente, California, where their connection and shared values brought them together.
Together, they use meditation and journaling in their daily lives for inspiration, discipline, and to create a deeper spiritual journey. They will be coming in hot Tuesday - straight from Indonesia to The Noble Path Foundation! Sign up now to reserve your space for this authentic and powerful presentation as Griffin and Hannah share the tools and practices that have helped them navigate the bumpy seas of life!

The gang showed up in force for a farewell game of Werewolf with Cody DeDianous and it was wicked!
Cody has been volunteering with us for over a year but will be heading east to Philly to complete his doctorate degree in clinical psychology. The teens have loved getting to know this kind, caring, and generous human and we will all miss him terribly!!
Good luck Cody. We love you!! 🥰

Highlight Reel 6/8: Auctions
From guitar and tennis lessons to personal training sessions, e-bike rentals, fine dining experiences, and whale watching excursions, our silent auction truly offered something for everyone.
Our live auction featured a Kelly Slater-signed Limited Edition “Boost Mobile Retro Rocket” surfboard, a rare 2010 Shepard Fairey-signed “Mandala Ornament (Red/Gold)” print, and an exclusive OBEY Collector Experience featuring a curated collection of collaborative art pieces along with a VIP insider tour of OBEY Clothing’s headquarters in Irvine.
The bidding was spirited from start to finish, but the biggest winners were the young people whose lives will be enriched through the free wellness, leadership, and life-skills programs your generosity helps make possible.
A heartfelt thank you to Marco Caldarone and our amazing volunteer team for reaching out across San Clemente to secure so many incredible donations, to Malani Yabsley for flawlessly coordinating the online auction and graphics, and to our fantastic live auctioneer, Don Juncal, who kept the energy high and the bidding rolling.
Every item donated, every bid placed, and every dollar raised helps us continue investing in the next generation. Thank you for believing in our mission!

Our AIM High+Plus group had a VIP behind-the-scenes tour of OBEY Clothing with its co-founder and President, Don Juncal.
He shared how the clothes you have in your closet go from idea to production to warehouse to retail; the types of jobs and careers that are possible; and most importantly, why company culture and being true to your vision—and your employees—are what gives a brand its longevity.
Thank you to @officialdonjuncal, Steve, Chris, Nick, Adrian, Adam, and all the hardworking teams of Obey Clothing, Dark Seas, and Loser Machine for giving us a peek into your day. We enjoyed it immensely and can’t thank you all enough… 💖
Next week we have Nutrition with Melissa Mathes, RDN, CSSD @tnc_sportsrd and a roundtable discussion on mental health with Holly Grupe, LMFT @balancedgrowth_withholly, Nate Balfanz, PsyD @drnatepsych, and Susan Parmelee, LCSW @wpcoc. It’s a true BODY/MIND session for Week 5 as we turn the corner and head into the home stretch!
