Hello everyone! Long time no see!! We are posting about an opportunity that has arisen to change the game for the Bo Foundation. We are going to create a scholarship that will be given every year to a student at Kouts High School who is planning on going into special education or education. However, in order to create the scholarship, we still need to raise more funds (about $1000 to be exact). We will be have a garage sale in a couple of weeks to raise those funds. We are currently seeking donations for the garage sale, so starting rounding up your things! Donations can be dropped off at Cornerstone Community Church starting on August 13th. The garage sale will take place on August 18 and 19th. Donations can be anything! If you have any questions, please contact us! Thanks all!

The Color Laps Around the Track for Saturday has been CANCELLED. We had an original goal of how many participants we would need, and unfortunately we did not reach that goal. Therefore the event has been CANCELLED. Thank you to everyone who was interested and for all of those planning on supporting. We are hoping to have the event sometime in the spring, so keep your eyes open for it! Thank you!

Because of all of the constant support and encouragement, we are overjoyed to announce that we will be giving 11 iPads to the special education classrooms at Kouts. Come to the game tomorrow to see this special event and to further support the organization!

When Megan Gauler and Olivia Birky first started the Bo Foundation, it was an idea between two Kouts best friends who also played volleyball.

Guess who learned how to ride a two wheel bike?? Jacob Gauler and Bo Birky (pictured below)! Along with other amazing kids, this camp was a week of discovering new abilities. So proud! If you would like more info about the camp, go to the Chasing Dreams page. They are always open to volunteers!!

Saturday we will be participating in the Walk for Autism! If any of you out there are interested, go to www.walknowforautismspeaks.org and search for the Bo Foundation team to see how you can help out!

Since becoming involved in 2006, Team Greenbean has raised over $2 million for the Los Angeles Walk Now for Autism Speaks. It is a testament to persistence, dedication and not being hesitant to ask friends, family, co-workers, and anyone else to support a cause that’s personal to you and your loved…
