9th Annual Sharefest Workday

This Saturday, April 28, from 8am-1pm, Sharefest Community Development will rally thousands of volunteers for its 9th Annual Sharefest Workday. In the course of just one day, 5,000 volunteers will complete 350 projects at 55 locations in the South Bay and Harbor areas. These community improvements are estimated to be worth close to$1 million, but come at no cost to the recipients.

"With more than 60 sponsors and partners, and 5,000 volunteers, this year's Workday has more than surpassed my expectations," said Chad Mayer, co-founder and executive director of Sharefest Community Development. "Each year I am again reminded of how much our community can accomplish by banding together. Not only will these much needed improvement projects beautify our schools and cities, but also create a lasting positive change."

The success of Sharefest's Workday lies in the collaboration between local organizations, the faith community and businesses to pool resources and gather volunteers in order to complete tangible service projects at a fraction of what they would cost. By taking advantage of community resources already in place, the Workday creates an immediate impact but also creates a cohesive community which lasts longer than one day.

The 55 sites that will receive improvements on Saturday, April 28 includes:

Carson High School
Watson Land Company employees will join hundreds of students, family and friends to provide numerous improvements at Carson High School. The more than 20 individual projects include beautification and improvements to the computer lab, baseball field, school entrance, administration area, parking lot, landscaping, flagpole area, quad, hallways, and garden, as well as a new outdoor kitchen. Multiple murals will also be painted throughout the campus. One of Watson Land Company's most anticipated projects is the outdoor kitchen, which will accompany the existing educational garden.
"Watson Land Company is celebrating its 100th anniversary throughout 2012 with a series of events focusing on giving back to the communities we serve," said Watson Land Company President and CEO Bruce Choate. "With a theme of 'A Century of Stewardship' the company and its employees are partnering with community based non-profits to make a meaningful and lasting positive impact. Watson Land Company, along with a number of our customers and vendors, is pleased to partner with Sharefest and Carson High School by sponsoring the 9th Annual Community Workday. We look forward to combining our efforts to help foster an environment for students to grow both personally and academically."
