The Richard Maize Foundation

The Richard Maize Foundation is throwing its support to the upcoming Harmony Bowl fundraising event. The event has been very successful for the past three years and has the potential of raising the funds necessary to continue the important work done by United in Harmony.

Los Angeles Charities

United in Harmony is a Los Angeles-based charitable organization that was created by volunteers almost 20 years ago. The organization’s aim is to help inner-city Los Angeles kids between the ages of 7-13, most of who are involved in shelter programs for children living below the poverty line. Through free mentoring programs, residential camps for the summer and winter vacations, an annual Christmas party and fundraisers throughout the year, United in Harmony helps to fill in the gaps in the lives of these appreciative kids.

These kids don’t have it easy. As a result of their parents’ misfortunes, many of them feel responsible for the well being of their siblings and even their own parents. They take on responsibilities far beyond their years in the caring for themselves and their families.

Camp Harmony

Giving these kids a carefree block of time in which they are allowed to just “be kids”, Camp Harmony lets them get away and enjoy the outdoors during breaks from school. The camp takes place on the beautiful and rustic Malibu campus of Camp Hess Kramer. By accepting responsibility to do well in school, the kids “earn” their way to the camp. But they’re not alone in this – United in Harmony provides them with mentors to guarantee their success in school.

Richard Maize Donates to Bowling Party

United in Harmony produces a major fundraising event each fall. That highly successful event for the past three years has been The Harmony Bowl. Richard and Rochelle Maize are regular donors to the Harmony Bowl through their philanthropic fund, the Richard Maize Foundation. They concur that this is a really fun and entertaining bowling party that generates substantial funds to United in Harmony’s many programs.

Green Youth Movement

Richard and Rochelle Maize’s daughter, Ally Maize, goes one step further in her support of the programs – for the past three years she has volunteered to help out at the camps. As a high school student she understands how to help the youngsters and enjoys being an important part of their lives. Ally is active in many outside activities but is especially known for the work she does to make her fellow students ecologically aware through her non-profit organization, the Green Youth Movement.

Helping the Environment

The Richard Maize Foundation is a philanthropic organization founded by Richard and Rochelle Maize. Along with United in Harmony, the fund supports various local and international causes ranging from health and human services to arts and the environment.
