About The Walk:

The annual SKECHERS Pier to Pier Friendship Walk is an awe-inspiring event that brings together all walks of life for one common purpose; to support children with special needs and education. The walk is produced by SKECHERS USA and co-produced by The Friendship Foundation.

SKECHERS Foundation Mission

Founded in 2010 by the Greenberg Family, The SKECHERS Foundation exists to strengthen communities all over the world, through our greatest asset: Children. We invest in organizations dedicated to embracing individuals with special needs, improving education and empowering disadvantage youth. Our goal is simply to inspire and support individuals to make a valiant effort in creating community.

The Friendship Foundation Mission

The Friendship Foundation, formerly known as The Friendship Circle of the South Bay, exists to bring happiness and companionship to children and young adults with special needs by celebrating their uniqueness and individuality to create renewed strength, comfort and peace of mind to the families of these special individuals; to foster the values of altruism, compassion and acceptance among teen volunteers; and to heighten community awareness, sensitivity and encourage a sense of responsibility and involvement. It is our belief that every person is precious and capable of love, connection and friendship. Learn more about The Friendship Foundation

When I began blogging three years ago, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. (To be honest, I still don't. I just kind of go with the flow and do my own thing.)

I have learned several things that are most awesome. I've seen things and experienced opportunities that I never would have imagined during the last three years. I've made friends that I otherwise would not and I've read more books than I can possibly count. 

Instead of me going on and on about what I've done (or haven't for that matter) I'm going to show you some of my favorite things and then we'll get to the goodies. 

Author events! 

The very first Author Event I attended was for Richelle Mead. I had no clue who she was and didn't own the 3 previous books in the series. 

From there I went on to attend several events. Eventually, I began to moderate and interview the authors.
