The 2019 Smart Ride will be here before I know it. With all that is going on, I wanted to be sure to get my donation link posted.

This will be my third Smart Ride as part of the Food Crew (Go Crew!). We make sure that all of the riders and volunteers are well fed during the two day, 165 mile trip from Miami to Key West. It continues to be a very emotional yet extremely satisfying event. Last year over ONE MILLION dollars was raised, all of it (yep, 100%) is distributed to various non-profits that work tirelessly benefiting those with HIV/Aids. Its the sixteenth ride, and every year I wish it would be the last.

Please visit my home page (https://www.thesmartride.org/smart-ride-2019/4310) and make a donation of any amount. It all helps. Last year I was #13 in funds raised. This year, I want to beat that ranking with my goal of $3,000.00. Please donate!

Thanks!!!!!!

It's been a bust week of giving back! 

March 1, 2018 - Chef Ray had the pleasure of providing a special hors d'oeuvres to be served at the Fort Lauderdale Woman's Club 100th Anniversary celebration of their building. The ladies also provided some wonderful homemade fare as well as having donations from the community. http://fortlauderdalewomansclub.com/

March 3, 2018 – Chef Ray (partnered with Daniella Santos) volunteered at the 28th Annual Walk for the Animals event. It was very satisfying to greet the walkers and their four-legged family members. There were many animal friendly vendors providing information and giveaways for all that attended. http://humanebroward.com/

Volunteering to help our wildlife

I have long respected all wildlife. As mankind encroaches upon natural habitats, animals are forced to "share" space while losing natural food resources. There are a number of ways we can help. Most important, especially with baby animals, "See it there, leave it there." The mother will find it. Of course, if it's in immediate danger, call the center.
I am proud to serve as a volunteer at SFWC doing whatever I can to rescue, rehabilitate and release an animal back into a safe environment. There are no special skills needed. I happen to do what I do best – prepare natural foods for each species specialized diets. Mealy worms anyone? Please click on the adjacent logo to learn more about how you may help!
