Where Our Heart Is
Each of us has a special place in our hearts for different charities or volunteer organizations. To us they represent a personal story of a triumph or loss. A chance to make a difference to someone else, if not for ourselves but for others.
Volunteering can also be a way some people give back to others what was given to them.
People may coach youth sports because they love the game and want to pass their love of the game on to other kids. They also may want to give back and be a mentor and a positive role model for those same kids, because they once had a coach who was a positive influence in their lives.
Some people may dedicate their time to reading stories to the kids at the parks and recreations because they realize that children who learn to read well will read to learn more and in turn better a child’s education and financial future.
We, Virginia, Dianna and David have two organizations that we promote awareness around with great passion.
The Anthony Telesco Foundation

The loss of a child is unbearable under all circumstances. To loose a child to a car accident that could have been avoided 70% of the time is a statistic we want to change and we are doing so by supporting The Anthony Telesco Foundation. Please take a moment to follow the link and read more about how a families’ heartbreak over the loss of their child is being used as a way of educating to save the lives of so many others. .
And The Eager Beavers Team,
http://www.theeagerbeavers.com/
Everyone knows someone who has breast cancer, is fighting breast cancer, or who has lost a loved one to breast cancer.
The Eager Beavers was formed out of the memory of Ann Beaver, loving mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and wife.
The Eager Beaver Team raises money throughout the entire year so they can walk the 60 miles in the unpredictable Florida weather .They walk and proudly spread their message. ‘TAKE A BITE OUT OF CANCER’
Over the past few years, many of our clients have shared with us their own personal battle with cancer. Some are doing wonderful and have triumph over cancer. Others, we have lost along the way and they are deeply missed by the Florida West Team.
Please take a moment to visit The Eager Beavers website to offer your support to a team who is walking to raise the money that could some day save your loved ones life.
