Over 200 kids from the Richstone Family Center, Walk with Sally, Boys and Girls Club and other youth programs, along with an equal number of volunteer mentors from the beach community, and another 100 local volunteers, participated in the 20th Annual Day at the Beach, on Saturday, in Manhattan Beach.
The day was hosted by PS I Love You Foundation, PS I Love You, which provides Social Emotional Learning (SEL) in Los Angeles schools and shelters. “If we can encourage kids to respect themselves, they will respect others,” said PS I Love You founder Patricia Jones. She began organizing the annual Day at the Beach two decades ago to give inner city kids the opportunity to enjoy the ocean. Sponsors included Text Style Fashion Group, South Bay Lexus, CDC Finance, Fresh Brothers, and Chevron. For more information, visit PSILoveYouFoundation.org. ER
