Tennessee Tornado Recovery 2020

With the spirit of March Madness upon us, Hoops for Heroes is aimed to help support the 2020 Valor Games Southeast. Valor Games Southeast is a spirited three day adaptive sports competition for veterans and members of the Armed Forces that takes place right here in RTP. Please join me in supporting the nonprofit, Bridge II Sports, that graciously hosts the games each year! All proceeds will directly benefit the men and women who take partake in the events. Wheelchair Basketball, a fan favorite, is held at the Iconic Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke University. As we gear up for March Madness I am hoping to ignite the warrior spirit in you and draw more awareness to this amazing cause.

Let's join together to donate to local charities that serve the women in our community for Women's History Month and beyond.

On June 11th, we are hosting a 1-hour virtual broadcast through CiscoTV. Join our Event on June 11th through CiscoTV by registering (https://www.cisco.vovici.com/se/2C85931E1D527498). We will hear true stories of those impacted by homelessness in our local community, especially during COVID-19. In response to these stories, we'll share steps Cisco RTP has taken and will continue to take in commitment to both nonprofits. Finally, there will be a Q&A with the Executive Director of Raleigh Rescue Mission, John Luckett, and Executive Director of Haven House, Michelle Zechmann. After tuning into the morning broadcast, we hope everyone will be moved and encouraged to sleep outside in solidarity of those experience homelessness in our local community. However, the safety and wellness of our Cisco family is paramount, and we ask everyone use discretion to make the best decision for themselves. At 9pm on that same day we will gather via Webex Event Center for a brief check-in to remind everybody about the meaning of this event. The following morning, we will do the same thing around 7:30am. We’d love to hear from you about your experience and provide next steps on ways to stay involved. In November 2019, Chuck highlighted Cisco's passion for helping the those experiencing homelessness through a partnership with Covenant House. Since then, a group of over 70 people in RTP have rallied around the mission to help those experiencing homelessness. In order to combine this passion with Bryan Stevenson’s concept of proximity, we have united to create a Night Outside event with the mission of connecting Cisco's culture of giving back to local communities in the Raleigh-Durham area. We have partnered with Raleigh Rescue Mission and Haven House to sleep outside in solidarity of those experiencing homelessness. Homelessness is increasing in Raleigh by 8% each year. Over 6,000 individuals experiencing homelessness are seeking services and more than 4,300 homeless children attend Wake County schools. Additionally, 100,000 individuals in poverty are at the risk of experiencing homelessness. Before we began practicing social distancing and staying at home, a night of speakers, give back activities, and sleeping outside was planned on RTP’s campus. Due to COVID-19, our nonprofit partners need support now more than ever. We are determined to get creative with technology and to come together to raise money for Raleigh Rescue Mission and Haven House. Have Questions? Feel free to email us at: rtpnightoutside@cisco.com

I originally planned to do RideLondon to raise money for Kidney Research UK. Due to 'rona, RideLondon has inevitably been cancelled. Instead, I will be completing a solo 300km (180 mile) cycle on 12th September! (Obeying any social distancing rules active at the time.) I'm aiming for my initial fundraising target for #TEAMKIDNEY. Thank you everyone who has already donated. Some of my family members (myself included) have autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Any size donation is welcome, and any donation is matched 100% by the company I work for. Hence, Kidney Research UK gets double whatever you donate!

Team Rubicon Fund

2020 Disaster Relief - Coronavirus Outbreak in Korea Recently, number of confirmed COVID-19 (coronavirus) cases rapidly increasing in Korea, the government has raised its anti-virus alert level to “Red,” the highest level, and the US Center of Disease Control also heightened its travel risk rating for South Korea from Level 2 (Practice Enhanced Precautions) to Level 3 (Avoid Nonessential Travel). The donation will be made for local people, including children with weak immunity, laborers, low-income families, and medical staff who need quarantine.

Help our 4-legged friends during Covid-19 shelter in place. While we are all sheltering in place and keeping the world safe, we see many businesses affected by Covid-19; however, we may not think about some of those affected in the downstream of those shuttered businesses. Please help our 4-legged friends who are also forced to shelter in place. 100% of your donation goes to the care and feeding of these wonderful dogs!! With delays and suspensions of travel for transporting greyhounds to adoption groups across the country, the greyhound farms are bearing the brunt of the costs for caring for these wonderful animals until travel restrictions are lifted. Greyhound Pets of America Greater Northwest is not only trying to support any dogs arriving to our area for adoption, but also supporting the dogs who are delayed in being moved by sending monetary help to the farms themselves. When their racing careers are behind them, adoption groups like Greyhound Pets of America Greater Northwest spring into action and are responsible for finding forever homes for these wonderful animals. Greyhounds are often called 45mph couch potatoes for a reason. They love to run...but they also love to rest...on a couch, a lap, at your feet!! These groups raise funds through donations that are used to pay to have the dogs transported and ready to adopt to their forever homes; this includes vet visits for teeth cleaning and shots, neutering or spaying and any other medical needs when the dogs arrive to the group. The groups' volunteers spend countless hours raising funds, finding suitable homes and fostering greyhounds while homes are found.

NC Students who are committed to celebrating people with special needs. We have come together to create an all inclusive prom event that will have an environment that leaves a positive impact for every child. We strive to create an atmosphere where each kid feels comfortable and important. We will do this by focusing on each child's uniqueness and distinct personality, allowing them to feel special in their own skin.

I am a St. Jude Hero! I have chosen to run for a reason bigger than myself by fundraising for the kids and families at St. Jude. I am training to cross the finish line on race day and with your donation we can cross the fundraising finish line together because the money you donate helps find a cure for childhood cancer.

Room to Read Fund Raiser

Chip in for a good cause, and don't forget to use your VMware donation match! If I'm willing to box for three rounds, would you be willing to help the kids in our community who need it most? Founders Fights is a wonderful charitable engine run by the Corner Boxing Club in Boulder, part of Boulder's Startup Week. They've raised over $300K for charities over the last four years, while putting on a great show. I am fighting for (Boulder) Voices for Children. In Boulder County, 100% of child neglect and abandonment cases are appointed a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). CASAs work one on one with kids who have been victims of child abuse. Every few months, the CASA makes recommendations to the court about what is in the child's best interest. Outside of the court, the CASA makes sure that the child is getting the help they need. For the next 12 weeks, leave the 5:30 am workouts and evening sparring sessions to me. My ask to you or someone you know is to stand with children that range from age 18 down to newborn babies who need a consistant adult figure in their life. I'll do my part, in training and in the ring. Help me, and let's make Boulder County a safer and more supportive community for all children. Thanks - JF
