Please join me in a swim-a-thon fundraiser for Real Options for City Kids!

R.O.C.K. is the largest provider of academic and social support for at-risk youth in Visitacion Valley (San Francisco). Their programs focus on addressing the whole needs of the child through uplifting sports and fitness programs, outdoor adventures, and nurturing school-based support.

I am supporting R.O.C.K. because I believe sports and fitness are critical to a person’s development, and I want to help R.O.C.K. help others.

In addition to the many physical benefits, sports teach us how to be good teammates and leaders, how to manage time, and how to be resilient. Physical activity also provides a positive release for the stress many children and young adults face.

Swim-a-thon details:
When: December 1 @ 10:00am
Where: Menlo College pool (1000 El Camino Real, Atherton)

If you are not able to join me in the swim-a-thon, please consider making a donation to R.O.C.K. Your support means a lot!

About R.O.C.K.

Since 1994, R.O.C.K. has served the needs of children in the community by providing structured programs that foster personal development within a safe, loving and supportive environment. With the help of our programs, children who might not otherwise have a reasonable chance to succeed are granted a level playing field.

R.O.C.K. has been proactive in its approach to community support since inception. Through her experiences working with homeless adults, Michelle Groe, R.O.C.K. Founder, realized the problems in their lives often began during childhood. As a result, Groe focused her efforts on providing stable, nurturing and welcoming environments for Visitacion Valley’s at-risk youth, thereby laying the foundation for R.O.C.K.

While R.O.C.K. has grown significantly since that time, Michelle’s original goal has maintained its fundamental purpose. Learn more at ww w.rocksf.org.
