ICON Workshop Is Hosting A Cars&Casino Event To Benefit At-Risk Children Around The World

The cars and dice will be rolling and the Macallan whiskey will be flowing at the 4th Annual Cars & Casino Fundraiser on May 13 at ICON Workshop (of ICON 4×4 fame) in Chatsworth, CA.

The more financially perilous version—should you decide to sit at certain tables—of Cars & Coffee is all for a mighty fine cause though: the GO Campaign. Scott Fifer, CEO of the non-profit, hopes for the GO Campaign to “transform communities, one child at a time.”

GO Campaign helps at-risk children across the world, from East Los Angeles to East Africa. Fifer said that he founded the non-profit to help children who, despite having huge potential, fall through the cracks. Because of the lofty goals and the amount of deserving kids in the world, the GO Campaign is concerned with being as efficient as possible, and, like many charitable organizations, this is one that’s concerned about the waste in the aid industry and seeks to limit this by remaining adaptable, working with other non-profits to fill gaps, and keeping an eagle eye on donor funds and where they get allocated.

Beyond this due diligence though, the GO Campaign’s strength is spotting the best people and projects to support. As part of the non-profit’s strategy to remain sustainable, they work with experts in their field whom they call “Local Heroes.” One of these Heroes, Kailash Satyarthi in India, is the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. His work is at the forefront of ending child slavery and child labor through education and rehabilitation. Satyarthi leads the Bar Ashram Trust, a centre for children rescued from forced labor and trafficking. It is people like Satyarthi who ensure that in addition to gaining vocational skills, those leaving the centre also exit as advocates for children’s rights in their communities.

From providing sanitary products for Congolese girls to help them stay concentrated on their educations, to constructing schools, expanding libraries, and supporting creativity and activism the world over, the GO Campaign’s reach and impact is enormous. It has supported over 200 projects and continues to work tirelessly to transform the lives of children every day.

Jamie and Jonathan Ward, owners and founders of ICON Workshop will be hosting the event at ICON Workshop this weekend. Guests will ogle displays by Arch Motorcycles, Emory, and Singer, enjoy the food vans on site, and perhaps seek out the company of Lady Luck around the roulette table. And it wouldn’t be a charity event in LA to do with cars without the opportunity to bid on a walkthrough of Jay Leno’s personal car collection.

See you there.

The event takes place this Saturday, May 13, 7pm-11pm, at  the ICON Workshop: 9601 Lurline Avenue, Chatsworth, CA 991311. For more details and tickets, please email cindy@gocampaign.org

I think the best events in the casino world can only be seen in Las Vegas. Moreover, I can recommend the site 9winz, which collects information about upcoming events in the world of casinos and betting.

About six months ago, I became interested in the gambling business, I just wanted to feel new sensations, I lacked color in my life. Therefore, I found on the Internet this https://rich-palms.casino/ online casino. I chose the site based on reviews and on the advice of my friends, who also play in the casino. I tried to spin different slots and I liked it, nothing freezes, payments come in literally 3 minutes. I am glad that this is an online casino with a license, in general I recommend everyone to try to spin slots, it will change your life.

Everyone here loves to gamble, and the hardest part is choosing a reliable site. I ran into this problem myself. In the end, I was lucky, and I found this site https://casinosx.com.br/. Here are collected reviews of the best casino sites. Each of you can come here and study the reviews, so it will be easier to choose.

It doesn’t matter if you want to succeed or just decide to gamble, you should make sure that you choose a reliable and trustworthy casino like this https://slot-xo888.com/ . There are a large number of such sites on the Internet that are not regulated or licensed.

Сool. It’s great that people do that. The best part is that we still know how to help others even that way. I myself read several reviews at https://casinotop.at/10-euro-casino/. I decided to play in a casino with a deposit of 10 euros and the first money I won I transferred to the shelter. Now I do it all the time. This is one of the best articles I’ve seen lately.

My main recommendation in Spain is to rent a car and leave the big cities. This is the only way to enjoy the beauties and nature of this country. You can rent cars at this company car rental near me https://www.bocubo.com/car-rental . And along the way, just stop at the motels and continue your journey. Good luck

Hello, I decided to invest in gambling. For me, this is the best way to make a lot of money, especially as I love slot machines. Who cares, I can recommend for you https://syndicate.casino/ca/casino/slots royal gems slot machine. I’ve been playing here for almost half a year. I can say with certainty that there is really good money to win. Go to the website I dropped, choose a game and continue. If you have questions, you can ask them.

Pretty interesting and generous offer. Although from experience I know that somewhere in such cases there are pitfalls. I once met a similar action without gimmicks at https://slotsonlinecasino.com/. But who knows, it’s not for me to judge. It is necessary to test this resource. Just need to find out what offers are regarding Internet poker.

It’s great that I found this site. I am engaged in the promotion of my business. Everyone knows that online casinos are on the rise and this is a very profitable business. I am engaged in website promotion freespin-navigator.com and I need professionals. You need to almost completely change the design of the resource in a short time.
