What's it all about?
It's cool to be kind.
Believe it or not, it only took me 32 years but I finally found my dream job.
Right out of college, I worked in corporate America and made good money but I never felt fulfilled with what I was doing. Now as the Philanthropy Editor for Giving Back Magazine, my heart and soul are singing songs of joy and gratitude.

the ultimate sign of success
is giving back

kindness is magic.
My love and appreciation for nonprofit work began in college when I was selected to represent UCLA’s undergraduate service organization. As a student, I didn’t have a lot of money to donate but I quickly learned that I could make an impact by giving my time. All you have to do to make a difference in someone’s life is care.
For the last 30 years, San Diego has been my home. During this time, I have served on over 17 boards and chaired 27 fundraisers. No matter how much work I do with nonprofits, I am always amazed at the number of awesome causes and dedicated supporters out there. San Diego definitely has the best weather in the world but what makes San Diego America’s finest city are the people. I feel incredibly lucky and blessed to live in a city that has so many kind and selfless souls who genuinely care about making our community a better place for everyone.

making dreams come true.
As Giving Back Magazine’s Philanthropy Editor, each week, I feature a hero and the causes that are creating a positive difference in our world. Always remember that philanthropy is about more than giving money, it’s about caring enough to help others who are in pain.
So, go out there and make every moment count!
shine on,
Lori
