We are sad to announce that we are canceling this event due to lack of funding. Due to our main sponsor’s finances not coming through for our Mother’s Day event, we had to cover those expenses with our budget for our Father’s Day event. It was unexpected & very unfortunate so we are unable to host this event & produce it on the level the fathers deserve. We look forward to celebrating all the Superdads next year! We apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment as we work very hard to honor our commitments.
Sincerely, The POOF Team |

We are taking May off with this program. Be back soon!

NEW INITIATIVE ANNOUNCEMENT
|
|
The Power of One Foundation has recently launched a new initiative to address the issue of violence in our communities. The initiative, aptly named Stop the Violence, aims to bring together community members, organizations, and law enforcement agencies to work collaboratively towards creating safer and more peaceful neighborhoods.
The Stop the Violence Initiative is rooted in the belief that every individual has the power to make a positive change in their community. By working together, community members can identify the root causes of violence, develop strategies to address them, and build stronger, more resilient neighborhoods.
The Power of One Foundation's Stop the Violence Initiative is multifaceted and involves a range of activities, including community outreach, education, advocacy, and direct support for victims of violence. Through community outreach, the initiative seeks to engage with community members, raise awareness of the issue of violence, and promote the importance of collective action.
Education is also a crucial component of the initiative, with a focus on educating individuals about diplomatic communication skills, non-violent conflict resolution, empathy, and understanding. By providing individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to resolve conflicts peacefully, the initiative hopes to reduce the incidence of violence in the long term.

This initiative is very dear to our hearts as we have had requests for birthday parties for kids who normally would not be able to celebrate their special day due to financial restraints in their family. We are excited to partner with IKEA Costa Mesa, Baker-Fairview Self Storage, & Jessica's Pastry Heaven for this initiative.

For the last five years we have provided food, blankets, water, toys, clothing and other needed resources to the at-risk areas in Tijuana, Ensanada, Chiapas, Zacatecas, Rosarito and other areas in Mexico as well as areas in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. We believe it is of the utmost importance to fight hunger on an international scale as well as in our own local communities.
