Making an Impact This Thanksgiving in our month of Gratitude
As Thanksgiving approaches, CAL Sports Academy encourages our young athletes to reflect on the true spirit of the holiday—gratitude and giving. While many of us gather around tables filled with food, there are families who struggle to afford a meal. This season, we challenge our athletes to think about how they can make a difference. What would you like to do to help those in need? How do you envision a world where everyone has enough? Consider these questions as you grow into impactful individuals.
Additionally, our Holiday Monetary Award is here, and we aim to reach a $10,000 goal by December 14th. Donations can be made through our website, where you’ll also find instructions for those seeking assistance or to donate. Remember, your contributions, no matter how small, can profoundly change lives.
This Thanksgiving, let’s come together to support our community with compassion and generosity.
Healthy Habits and Gratitude Month
November is a time to express gratitude and reflect on the blessings in our lives. At CAL Sports Academy, we’re grateful for our dedicated athletes, supportive families, and the vibrant community we serve. As we close the year, here are seven things we’re thankful for:
- the opportunity to play sports,
- the support of family and friends,
- the beauty of nature,
- the lessons learned from challenges,
- the joy of teamwork,
- the commitment of our coaches, and
- the resilience of our athletes.
We also recognize our veterans this month, honoring their service and sacrifice—thank you for your dedication.
Also, don’t forget to support local businesses this Small Business Saturday is November 29th—they are the backbone of our economy.
To fuel your active lifestyle, try this quick snack recipe: mix a handful of almonds, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips for a nutritious, on-the-go treat.
Lastly, prepare for Giving Tuesday, is on December 2nd, a day dedicated to generosity and kindness.
