Pacific Outdoor Living to Hold Benefit for LAPD

Pacific Outdoor Living is holding a charity event to benefit LAPD Foothill’s Cadet Program in Pacoima.
The Designer Showcase & Outdoor Living Expo is October 25, 2014 from 9-4pm. Tour beautifully landscaped and expertly designed gardens at five homes around the Pasadena and La Cañada area. The landscape designer of each home will be on hand to answer questions. Admission for the self-guided tour is $20. Early bird specials available through October 14th for discounted ticket prices. Every dollar raised will be donated to the LAPD Cadet program.
Why team with the LAPD Cadet Program? Sergeant Roland Fogel is the Assistant Officer in charge of the Cadet Program. He tells Pacific Outdoor Living that “The Cadets learn leadership skills, work as a team and get structure. They get a sense of belonging that they may not get in their neighborhood, which helps them stay out of gangs.”
LAPD Foothill Division Cadet Norma Vazquez, 20, said that before joining the program she had been going through a hard time. “I am better able to deal with life through the lessons taught by the Cadet program, and I’ve learned how to influence those who are insecure and weak, and help turn those qualities into strengths.”
Terry Morrill, Pacific Outdoor Living’s founder and general manager, recognizes the importance of giving back. “I enjoy working on projects that help the community; it’s personally satisfying to see others benefit from our contributions.”
Tickets can be purchased by going in to any Daphne’s Greek Cuisine, The Design Center in La Crescenta, Pacific Outdoor Living’s kiosk at The Americana in Glendale, or at www.pacificoutdoorliving.com.
Terry Morrill, owner and general manager of Pacific Outdoor Living, is available for interviews.
