The Channel Islands Gulls are pleased to announce another record year of fundraising for 11 Ventura County nonprofit organizations:
California Coastal Horse Rescue; Camarillo Hospice; Caregivers, Volunteers Assisting the Elderly; The Lighthouse for Women and Children; Many Meals of Camarillo; National Alliance on Mental Illness; Project Understanding; Ribbons of Life Breast Cancer Foundation; St. Vincent De Paul (Santa Paula); and Ventura County City Center. Additionally the Gulls made a substantial donation to the Camarillo Cares fundraiser benefitting the Borderline Bar & Grill employees, Ventura County Animal Shelter and the Hill Fire victims.
“We are absolutely astounded by the generosity of our members,” said Channel Islands Gulls president Julia Marshall. “Last year we broke our previous fundraising record, and in 2018 we raised even more money for our charities. In addition to the money we raise, we hold several drives throughout the year for our charities, providing literally thousands of dollars’ worth of food, clothing and personal items.” Marshall explained that the non-profit organizations the Gulls donate to do not receive federal funding. “We support a variety of grassroots organizations that make a difference for literally thousands of individuals living in Ventura County.”
The Channel Islands Gulls funds at their monthly luncheons and unique fundraising activities throughout the year. For more information: www.channelislandsgulls.org.
