Finding time to do something for the community is always a good thing. Nearly 1,400 people participated in the Race For Success 5K - 1K Run/Walk held at Loyola Marymount University on April 20th, 2013. While there is a good healthy dose of adult participation, it's really all about the kids, which of course always provide photographers with priceless spontaneous moments of expression in front of the lens.

The proceeds from the Race for Success benefit the local elementary, middle and high schools in Westchester, Playa Vista and Playa del Rey, California. This event has been able to raise funds each year to save programs that would otherwise have been cut due to decline in budgets.
