This is a fabulous camp to send your child to if you want her/him to grow up and be a person who makes the world a better place.

It's 2019, and…read morein the nearly 15 years with which I've been a part of this organization as a volunteer Board Member, I can only tell you, it keeps getting better and better. It is a pleasure to serve alongside the many talented Staff and Board Members who are all committed to empowering, igniting and defending the potential inherent in all of our Littles. And, I must shout out to our Bigs who are the everyday heroes and heroines who are caring, competent, compassionate and committed in their efforts to help their Littles realize their full potential. So, join us in this mission. The power of 10 means that for each child's life we change, we exponentially improve the lives of at least 10 people. So, I can only say this, if you are ready to do something BIG, consider sharing your time, talents, heart and, if you are so inclined, treasures with this organization. Your life will be forever enriched!

Girlfriend does it all and is the inspiration for this amazing and worthy cause. UCAAN = The United Cancer Advocacy Action Network and they provide, support, outreach, treatment and resources to Cancer patients, survivors and their families. I was blessed when Rachel reached out to me through 'YELP' Yep girlfriend messaged me and asked if I would be willing to be auctioned off onstage for charity. HELLO WTF, I was speechless and laughing thinking I've been Punk'd. Rachel is UCAAN and a cancer survivor multiple times over herself. She is also the one with the vision and desire to make this work. She is inspiring, grounded, funny, businesslike and persistent not to mention a fighter who will not accept defeat or NO, they aren't in her vocabulary. Ok back to my being paraded on stage and auctioned off to the highest bidder at there annual gala dinner in Calabasas. Still in shock and woozy from the conversation Rachel, compliments me, charms me, coerces me, urges me and convinces me that I'm the guy she and UCAAN wants, needs and desires to do this. I'm mere putty in her hands and all in I acquiesced and gave my body to UCAAN and the highest bidder of course. I was willing to take one for the UCAAN team. Of course, I wake up from this dream and ask what exactly does this entail and specifically what is my part in this flesh peddling endeavor. LOL are clothes optional and depending upon the bid am I performing just so I'm prepared and game night ready... It's all on the up and up not like some tawdry reality show. Damn just my luck probably no debauchery involved... The UCAAN shindig was a catered affair with top-shelf Yelp worthy vittles proudly on display with the music blaring and hopefully, the bidders getting all liquored up on mommy juice and unfurling there bidding paddle in a Chippendales like feeding frenzy much like when Yelp Elites have free food on hosted open bar night. I was paraded on stage and worked the runway as the bidding commenced much to my shock and dismay it was quite the bidding war which included Rachel herself and a wayward man with a black paneled van at the valet among others which I was hoping got outbid LOL The host/auctioneer introduced oil to the festivities and we worked the crowd until Catherine a money manager from Westlake Village ponied up the bucks for a night on the town to have her way with me. All kidding aside well maybe not. Amazing night, experience and cause. I was honored and humbled to be involved and proud to be able to help UCAAN and Rachel on their journey to help fight this insidious disease and serve those afflicted. Rachel is expanding her UCAAN network with new services and resources and she could use your help making this a reality.

I volunteered for her for a while and every time I would show up it seemed she was not organized. She then came to my job one day and accused me of being high. I was just really tired because it was very late and we work from 4am to 4pm daily. She bought a few things and thought that i overcharged her which was not the case. She was inclined to write a review because the prices were not to her liking. She is very entitled and believes the world owes her something. She is notorious for posting negative comments about other businesses because she is entitled. So many other great organizations out there that truly help others. Don't bother with her.
