Santa Fe Elementary LilCaesars Pizza Part 2

The Santa Fe Elementary School's annual Rally and March for Peace on Friday, June 4, 2011 with the Aaron & Margaret Wallace Foundation (A&MWF), Marshawn Lynch's "Fam1ly F1rst" Football Camp; and Leon Powe's "Fresh Start Oakland" Basketball Camp was an incredible success thanks to all the other wonderful people at Trader Joe's, Little Ceasar's Pizza, and SemiFreddi's for the generous and constant sponsorship support that they have given in the many efforts to improve the quality of life for those that we serve. It would not be possible without their contributions.
The day long program began at 9:00 am with a free community breakfast for 800 students and community members giving speeches on what peace meant to them. After breakfast there was a rally, then a march through the neighborhood culminating in a gathering at the school. There were corporate, food and vendor booths with lots of fun things for the children and adults alike at the school yard. The event had the support of Santa Fe Elementary Alumnus, ALL-Americans, NFL All-Pro, NBA World Champions, North Oakland residents, Oakland Tech High School and U. C. Berkeley classmates Marshawn Lynch, Leon Powe and Josh Johnson. We have some very exciting footage with sponsors' banners proudly and prominently displayed as there was media coverage throughout the day and a television crew that filmed the entire event for a special broadcast! The real value here is there are PRICELESS shots of the kids walking, running and playing while eating sponsor's products!!! There are several public "Thank You's" announced during the celebration as well.
