About Me & The Walk

Greetings!  I’m Shelly.  I’m an academic counselor at Cabrillo College.

Califronia Community Colleges and CalWORKs face significant budget cuts in the governor proposed budget.  This will have a profound impact on the students I work with soooo….I’m walking to raise money and awareness for CalWORKs students that are part of the Fast Track To Work program at Cabrillo College!

I will backpack around Lake Tahoe on the Tahoe Rim Trail.  The trail consists of 165 miles of single track multiuse trail with a change in elevation from 6,300 feet to 10+K.  If you are willing to sponsor me with a pledge of any amount, we can make a difference in needy students’ lives.

Goals:

  • To highlight student need
  • Publicize pending budget cuts
  • Raise money to assist students with emergency needs

How You Can Help:

You can pledge any amount per mile.  For instance, if you pledged one penny per mile, I would raise $1.65.  Here are some other options:

5 cents per mile=$8.25

10 cents per mile=$16.50

25 cents per mile=$41.45

$1 per mile=$165

Even a small pledge can add up quickly!  If you would like to dontate, please contact Fast Track To Work at Cabrillo College at (831) 479-6344 OR fasttrack@cabrillo.edu

When:

Beginning of August 2008.  Details to be announced.
