Philanthropic Impact

Through community support, we achieved our goal: donating $1,000 to each of these three organizations in Chuck’s name:

Chalk It Up!

ScholasTIC Tourette’s Supporters
Focused on fostering awareness and inclusion for students with Tourette Syndrome. Their scholarship programs provide vital financial assistance to students.
Verge Center for the Arts
A vital resource for the Sacramento contemporary art community, providing extensive arts education and affordable studio spaces.
