In honor of my best friend Karma, who passed away last year, I have created a fundraising event called Paddle for Pups to benefit a local dog rescue called Pups Without Borders. Paddle for Pups is dedicated to bringing the community together for a day of fun on the beautiful waters of Marina del Rey. Our mission is to raise awareness and funds for the welfare and rescue of dogs in need, ensuring every pup has a chance at a happy and healthy life. Through this annual event, we strive to foster a spirit of kindness, compassion, and community involvement, making a tangible difference in the lives of our four-legged friends. All proceeds from the event will go to Pups Without Borders. Karma's Inaugural Paddle for Pups will feature a morning paddle out lead by the Pro SUP Shop and an exciting event to follow.  The event will include puppy yoga, pet portraits, dog rescue adoptions, music, a silent auction, vendors, and much more.  All proceeds from this year's event will benefit Pups without Borders, a non-profit 501 (c)3. Kindness is the ultimate Karma! We hope you will partner with us to spread compassion and kindness for our pups in need. IMPORTANT:  […]

Long considered a hidden gem of outstanding psychological education, Cal State Northridge University has quietly prided itself as diamond in the rough, a center of academic excellence dedicated to servicing a bourgeoning class of young people who are both invested in their education while also fulfilling the title of the working student professional.

Come, sit and play amongst over 200 species of various trees, alongside iconic modernist buildings designed by famed architect Richard Neutra, while also giving yourself a much needed mental health check with some of the cutest puppies in the valley.
