About Ripple Kids: The concept of Ripple Kids was developed by Bridget Belden, a mother of two from Orange County, CA. In 2003 during a particularly introspective time in her life, Bridget was inspired by her 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son and their natural inclination to want to help others. Instead of “what difference can I make…the issue is too big” it was “I can make a difference. Period.” The concept inspired a series of provoking thoughts with Bridget, “If we can empower and support kids while they have the inclination and the creativity, what kind of community issues can we resolve? What kind of adults will those kids grow into? What kind of world can we create?” thought Bridget. The beauty of this concept is that kids are already doing amazing things. All we have to do is tell people about it, and by doing so, we’ll inspire others kids to get involved, causing a ripple effect. To learn more about Ripple Kids, please visit: www.ripplekids.com.

About The Joyful Foundation: Founded in 2005 by Sandy Berg-Whiley, The Joyful Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity based in Tustin, California. The 100% volunteer based  foundation offers comfort to individuals in their time of illness or hardship by providing hand-made blankets created by Joyful volunteers to various hospitals, cancer centers and individuals receiving long-term medical treatments such as chemotherapy or renal dialysis, as well as victims of spousal abuse and their children. 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to fund blanket supplies, with foundation chapters now operating all over California, Utah, Texas and North Carolina. Each chapter hosts multiple “Cut & Sew Days” each month where volunteers gather together to make blankets that are specially processed to comply with strict hospital regulations and are then taken to a donation center in their area. The infectious message of joy cultivated at the foundation by the volunteers, advisory board, and board of directors, has resulted in tremendous growth for the foundation on an annual basis, with over 11,000 blankets donated in 2009 alone. Corporate partners include Centaurs Financial, Squar Milner, The Lost Bean, Employees Community Fund of Boeing California, Golden State Foods, The Anaheim Ducks and Ancon.
