Thanks, Rocio


Last summer, Rocio from SoCal Pacer Running Club took initiative and took orders of cycling and triathlon jerseys. I thought she did an amazing job communicating with the Sugoi suppliers and managing all of our unique orders. Due to some sizing issues beyond Rocio's control, a few jerseys didn't fit. I was totally okay with that. In fact, I gave one of my smaller jerseys to my friend Ricky. I was just happy that Ricky got a jersey that fits him. To my surprise, Rocio followed up and reordered the jerseys to make sure we all got the proper sizing. It really was amazing of her to go beyond her responsibility to ensure everyone was happy. I am grateful and inspired by her thoughtfulness. Thanks, Rocio, I love both of my jerseys. We appreciate you.

Saturday Academy


Our school is trying this new curriculum. We will see how this pans out.

Thank you, Teresa


Teresa goes beyond her duty and help students clear attendance if they attend math lab. During intervention and lunch, I tutor students. It is meaningful (and sometimes draining) work, but it wouldn't go smoothly without Teresa's help. We appreciate all that she does everyday, I gave her a box of Girls Scout cookies to thank her.

We received a digital 'Thank You Card' from the children of Heritage Group Homes. Thank you, Deonne, for sending this to me!

This is the first time that we get the see the children putting on the shoes! Deonne told me that the 361 Degrees running shoes were very popular for her girls. We wish them a fun and successful track season. -Ricky

ASAP - Mile 62 (8 More Pairs)


A Shoe Adoption Project Update - Thank you to Saba of Pomona's INSAN Humanity for sending us eight more shoe sizes of those in need. Saba's INSAN organization helps people dealing with homelessness and hunger. We have kept in touch since our first donation to them last year. At the beginning of the year, we offered INSAN eight pairs of shoes, preferably four of each gender. We're thrilled to give again. Mr. Saba picked up the donations on Monday afternoon from my school's main office. -Ricky




The 361 Degrees shoes provide great quality for the price. I also think that these female models/colors look fantastic.


361 Degrees Marshall (W7 and W8.5 x 3)

The four pairs of male shoes were of different sizes and models.
