⛳✨ THE INAUGURAL GORMANS GOLF CHARITY CLASSIC IS A WRAP!

What an incredible weekend at the Rancho Bernardo Inn! The first-ever Gormans Golf Charity Classic brought together an amazing community of golfers, sponsors, and supporters all united around one mission, empowering single mothers and their children right here in San Diego.

We are beyond grateful to our Silver Sponsor, Blue Shield of California Foundation, whose generous support helped make this weekend possible. Your commitment to community impact is felt far beyond the golf course, it reaches directly into the lives of the families we serve. Thank you! 💙

A very special thank you to the Gorman Brothers for believing in New LVL and lending their name, their heart, and their energy to this event. This tournament would not exist without you and we are so honored to build this with you. 🙏🏾

To every golfer, sponsor, guest, and volunteer who showed up this weekend, THANK YOU. You showed up for the mothers. You showed up for the children. Lastly THANK YOU New Level Inc for coordinating an amazing event! And because of you all, New LVL can continue doing the work that matters most.

This is only the beginning. See you next year! 🏌🏾‍♀️🎉

Christopher Hendrix, Public Voices Fellow in partnership with @blueshieldcafoundation, saw the recent CDC stats showing young Black males are dying by suicide at higher rates than their white peers for the first time and used his voice to amplify an issue that deserves our full, undivided attention.

“There are a lot of young Black men who feel like I did back then: invisible, like they don’t belong, like nobody cares.”

Powerful, essential writing.

In Los Angeles, food insecurity affects nearly one in four people. But the challenge isn’t just about getting food to people - it’s about creating the conditions for true nourishment.

No single organization can solve hunger or its related issues alone. That’s why we focus on building reliable Support Systems by bringing together neighbors, nonprofits, businesses, and volunteers to strengthen the safety net and create lasting solutions.

This looks like the Los Angeles Food Collective (LAFC) acting as a space to collectively share resources, working with HODG to distribute thousands of lunch bags weekly, to even distributing our compost to farms for animals to enjoy allowing for less greenhouse emissions.

Traditional arrests can sometimes cause more harm than good for families. That’s why I want to talk about Restorative Justice. #RestorativeJustice #BSCPartner #survivors #accountability #California

I am proud to be featured in a recent article by theGrio examining the barriers Black women survivors of domestic violence face within our communities and legal systems. 
I believe that my 18 years of experience in domestic violence advocacy, continues to bring critical insight, compassion, and a survivor-centered perspective to conversations that are too often overlooked. My work challenges all of us to look beyond individual incidents and understand the broader realities, barriers, and systemic issues that can impact survivors seeking safety and support. 
I emphasize creating meaningful change requires greater awareness, stronger legislation, more resources, and a deeper understanding of survivors’ experiences. 
I am honored to see the mission of BWRADV represented in this important conversation.

UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education Human Services launched a new statewide pilot training initiative designed to strengthen how California public assistance professionals support survivors of domestic abuse. The two-day training was kicked off by representatives from UC Davis, the @californiadss, @blueshieldcafoundation, @parentvoicesca and the survivor community.

The newly developed, trauma-informed curriculum gives staff serving CalWORKs, CalFresh, refugee assistance and other public assistance programs practical strategies to better recognize, respond to and support individuals and families experiencing domestic abuse.

This pilot marks an important step toward strengthening support for survivors and improving how public assistance systems respond to domestic abuse across California.
