Walk the Talk with Kim episodes

  • August 8, 2012 - Rancha Laguna - Tina Laguna

    How far would you be willing to go for an animal in need? At

    Rancho Laguna’s HEART, Tina Laguna spares no hardship for her rescue horses.
    Rancho Laguna takes in horses that are in need of rehabilitation and some TLC
    to come back up to speed after experiencing devastating situations. These
    horses then work in tandem with counselors in helping their patients overcome
    their challenges. There are many unique volunteer and donation opportunities
    with this amazing and giving organization! Check out www.rancholaguna.com for more
    information!

     

    You’ve heard about Baby Boomers, Generation X, and perhaps

    the Millennials… how about Generation Z? Kim interviews a wonderful panel of
    Gen-Z kids and they discuss topics such as: 9/11, paying it forward, community,
    volunteering, and more! There is no way to convey in words the wonderful things
    these kids had to say, you’re going to have to listen for yourself! You just
    may be surprised by how wise these 7-10 year olds are!

  • August 1, 2012 - Liberty Road Foundation - John Dammarell

    We all know that there are incredible mission driven

    organizations out there in the world, and most of us are aware that there are
    companies that have the desire to help these organizations. Liberty Road
    Foundation is there to bridge the gap between organizations and companies! This
    truly win-win, non-profit for non-profits group helps connect business with
    non-profits who benefit from such relationships. One of their first companies
    they helped was on the verge of bankruptcy and looking at a downward slope.
    After engaging with Liberty Road Foundation, this company had an astounding
    turn-around that showcased how transformational volunteering can be for
    employees, and as a result, the companies. Liberty Road Foundation teams up
    with organizations such as Olive Crest, Jubilee Reach, and New Horizons.

     

    Liberty Road Foundation hosts Business Leaders Breakfasts

    every two weeks and they welcome newcomers! The next Breakfast is Tuesday the 7th
    of August at the Sheraton in Bellevue from 7:30-8:30am.

     

    On August 14th, Liberty Road Foundation is

    hosting their annual Golf and Auction tournament in Newcastle! Have a team?
    Want to compete? Fancy attending an auction to benefit a great group? Check it
    out! www.lrfcharityevent.com

  • July 18, 2012 - Footloose Sailing - Bob Ewing

    When faced with a difficult or life-changing trial, there

    are those who curl up and hide to protect themselves. Then, there are those
    like Bob Ewing of Footloose Sailing who chose to make the best of the
    situation, and then some! Following an accident after he graduated from
    college, Bob found himself looking at the world in a little bit of a different
    way. Bob has been with Footloose Sailing from the very start and is now one of
    eleven board members of the organization.

     

    Footloose offers sailing trips to those with disabilities of

    all types. These trips give sailors the opportunity to leave their disability at
    the dock and feel on top of the world as they enjoy the open water.
    Participants are given three options: sit back and enjoy the ride, help out as
    much as comfort allows, or start learning how to operate the vessel. This
    wonderful gift Footloose gives to its participants is truly life changing.

     

    Footloose currently operates on less than $20,000 a year and

    offers classes at about $15/trip. However, this $15 can be too much for
    deserving participants. If you are interested in setting up a scholarship with
    Footloose or would like to volunteer on their trips, reach out!

  • July 11, 2012 - Women Sounders - Stephanie Cox

    This week we were incredibly excited to have Stephanie Cox

    from the Seattle Women Sounders. Stephanie plays as a defender for the Seattle
    team and was in the fierce competition for the US Women’s team for the 2012
    Olympics. Even though she didn’t make the cut, she wants to show girls and
    young athletes not to give up when faced with a road block – she’s walking the
    talk!

     

    Stephanie works with the Tacoma Kids for Christ and serves

    as a stunning role model within the organization. She also recently went to
    Phoenix, Arizona to work with foster kids at camp. Stephanie is a wonderful
    example for young women everywhere as she works to accomplish her dreams while
    continually raising the bar for herself, in addition to giving back to her
    community in ways that satisfy her passion.

     

    Check out the Tacoma Kids for Christ and see how you can

    join Stephanie and lend a helping hand!

    What have you done

    for your environment recently? If you don’t like your answer, then hopefully
    this episode of Walk the Talk with Kim will inspire you to go out and be
    proactive! David Roberts joined us from Kulshan Environmental Services from
    Bellingham, Washington. Kulshan Environmental works with both individuals and
    organizations/businesses to help better the environmental community. Kulshan
    Environment also takes proactive steps, and helps take care of the land and
    water before an issue arises!

     

    Lake Padden is under the protective care of Kulshan’s loving

    work. They’ve established a relationship with Western Washington University to
    get college students involved and devoted to Lake Padden and the new
    educational programs about it. Together, those who work toward keeping Lake
    Padden a healthy landmark have created educational programs that focus on long
    term solutions and goals for the lake. They’ve also raised $7,000 toward their
    project! They have created “The Pledge” for citizens around Lake Padden which

  • June 20, 2012 - ACRS - Owen Lei

    I’m thinking of an organization that caters to thousands of

    clients a year, serves clients in over forty
    different languages, and offers “culturally confident care.” Do you know who it
    is? After you listen to this episode of Walk the Talk with Kim you will! The
    Asian Counseling and Referral Service (ACRS) was founded in 1973 when attention
    was brought to misdiagnoses in Asian immigrants in regards to behavioral
    health. ACRS has grown beyond the initial spark and now offers a food bank, and
    community support through activities and fun classes that provide a spirit lift
    for various cultures.

     

    The ACRS food bank is unique in the fact that it offers

    foods that are staples in various cultures. The extra mile volunteers go truly
    make a difference to those they service. Through this specialization, clients gain
    comfort through “their food,” comfort that may be lacking in other aspects of
    their lives. This food bank is open Mondays and Wednesdays in China Town in
    Seattle.

     

    Saturday, June 30th brings an exciting event for

    those at the food bank of ACRS. The Walk for Rice will be taking place in
    Seward Park. Walk for Rice is the only fundraiser for the year, and it allows
    the organization to purchase their culturally appropriate supplies and foods.
    They estimate about 1000 walkers will turn up… will you be number 1001? 8:00am
    marks the beginning of registration, 9:00am cues the start of the festivities,
    and 10:00am kicks off the walk. Monetary donations and donations of food are
    welcome!

     

    Visit www.walkforrice.org

    to learn more about the fundraiser on June 30th. To learn more about
    ACRS and their services, visit www.acrs.org.

  • June 6, 2012 - Helen Thayer

    Helen Thayer began hiking and climbing at age 9, was a luge

    champion for the United States, is the first woman to have walked to the
    Magnetic North Pole, lived with a wolf pack for a year, walked 900 miles in the
    Sahara Desert this last year, and is planning a trip to Northeast Ethiopia for
    October of this year – at age 74! Helen has taken these expeditions and turned
    them into learning opportunities for children through her program Adventure
    Classroom, which helps raise awareness of cultural differences in the classroom.
    She also has been a photographer, lecturer, and guide for National Geographic!
    Helen believes that “age is no barrier of our dreams,” and you can be sure that
    she walks the talk. When asked why those who live in such trying environments,
    Helen told us “They’re at peace with themselves; they’re one with the world and
    their environment… and they do a lot better than we do in many ways.”
