The All NewCAPITAL REGION CARES 2019

Capital Region Cares, now in its 24th year, was created to be a unique resource to provide insight to the selfless work carried out by charities and philanthropists throughout California’s 10-County Capital Region. By sharing their stories with more than 85,000 business and community leaders, Comstock’s vision was to inspire those leaders with the capabilities and resources to contribute to the success of the region’s nonprofit community to become engaged and to elevate our region’s quality of life. To date, hundreds of nonprofits have benefited from participation in Capital Region Cares.

Our Capital Region Cares “3.0” represents the next generation of this effort, by offering the best of what we offer in print, with added multimedia features and benefits including posting Capital Region Cares profiles on a dedicated landing page on our website for a full year (including options for videos to be included!), providing added opportunities to share via web and social media, as well as additional Comstock’s social media, email newsletter and “Featured Event” promotion options. These unique multimedia packages provide great added value, too, at up to 51% off the regular individual rates for the included benefits.

If you are a nonprofit with a great story to tell about your mission and your success, this is your opportunity to share your story and your needs with the most affluent and influential leaders throughout the Capital Region and beyond with the addition of our digital platforms.

If you are a company or organization that has a passion for generating more awareness, board engagement, business and community support for your favorite nonprofit (while promoting your company’s brand and community engagement), this is your opportunity to do something very special for that nonprofit in Comstock’s magazine and through our website and digital channels.

Please see accompanying page for complete list of packages and benefits.

Located in the heart of Sacramento, Shriners Hospitals for Children – Northern California is a destination of choice for families in need of highly specialized care for kids with

complex medical needs and congenital differences. Doctors, nurses and other health providers refer more than

7,000 children to the Northern California Shriners Hospital for care each year. They include kids with cerebral palsy, clubfoot, spina bifida, scoliosis, limb deficiencies, hip disorders, sports injuries, colorectal issues, acute burns, facial feature abnormalities, spinal cord injury and more. Patients come from near and far, and kids treated often require surgical care and acute rehabilitation.

“While each child comes for a different reason, families depend on Shriners Hospital for care that otherwise would be outside their reach, due to an absence of specialty care in their community or treatment limits defined by insurance coverage or financial constraints,” says Alan Anderson, director of development. “A big misconception is that Shriners is a safety-net hospital. We welcome all kids — with or without insurance. The truth is that charitable giving ensures that all children in need of our services have access to the Shriners gift of specialized pediatric care.”

Since opening in 1997, Shriners Hospital in Sacramento has accepted more than 85,000 children for care. Located adjacent to the UC Davis Medical Center, Shriners Hospital is the only standalone children’s hospital in the region. Each patient’s journey begins with a clinical evaluation, and doctors chart an individual course of care for each child, which is delivered in a family-friendly environment.

“With 80 percent of children served coming to us from within 100 miles, we’re an incredible community resource,” says Anderson. “A gift to Shriners Hospital is a gift to our community.”

An enormous asset to the Sacramento region, Shriners Hospitals for Children welcomes philanthropic involvement from the business community.

Destination of choice.

Cristo Rey High School Sacramento provides a quality Catholic college-preparatory education to students who have limited financial resources, and a unique work study component

enriches students’ lives beyond their academic accomplishments. Every student works five days per month, gaining valuable experience in jobs at medical facilities, construction companies, law firms, lobbying firms, marketing and public relations businesses, local government, and more.

For the 2019-20 school year, Cristo Rey has more than 380 students enrolled in ninth through 12th grades. This past spring, 87 seniors graduated and 100 percent of them were accepted to at least one college. Nearly 70 percent chose a four-year university, including Sacramento State, UC Davis, UC Berkeley, UCLA and, for the first time, a Cristo Rey graduate has been accepted at Stanford University.

“Covering 60 percent of our budget, the work study relationships between our students and the business community are Cristo Rey’s financial engine,” says Cristo Rey’s President, David Perry, Ed.D. “Students work to offset the cost of their education as well as to obtain critical insight into the job market and their futures. Our work study program has more than 115 business partners, including 10 new ones, so we continue to grow.”

About 80 percent of student-work positions are paid by the businesses receiving the students’ services, while the remaining students work at nonprofits, with a few of those positions funded by local organizations who believe in the program. “We try to convert the unfunded positions into paid positions,” says Perry, “and look to our business community and philanthropic organizations to help us do that.”

Cristo Rey is a key workforce development partner for the Sacramento region. “We’re developing this region’s next generation of workforce through our college prep academics and, in partnership with businesses, our work study program,” concludes Perry. “We will continue to partner with as many organizations as possible to serve students who otherwise wouldn’t have these opportunities.”

College ready, career prepared.

For students without family precedent, individual guidance and financial means, college can seem unattainable. Complex college applications and financial assistance paperwork

complicate things further. Future Foundation of Sacramento identifies students who, despite these obstacles, show motivation and the ability to excel, and provides an array of resources to overcome the challenges.

“Our mission is to provide volunteer mentoring and scholarship funding to local financially qualified students in support of their college education,” says Elizabeth Marlow, executive director. “We help low-income, would-be first-generation college students gain admission to and graduate from college.”

An intensive selection process throughout Sacramento-area high schools identifies 10th grade students who meet Future

Sacramento’s standards, and the strongest candidates are chosen from about 300 applications each year. The benefits of receiving a Future Sacramento scholarship include mentoring and assistance with accessing college, participating in college-prep activities and financial aid workshops, and the opportunity to receive up to five years in college funding, a value of $25,000.

The first Future Sacramento scholarship was awarded in 2010. Since then, local students have been awarded more than 100 annual scholarships with more than $625,000 provided in scholarship funding. In addition, through the financial aid advocacy provided by Future Sacramento staff, students have received more than $2 million from financial aid grants and other scholarships.

Future Sacramento operates with only one staff member and with indispensable assistance from volunteer mentors,

a dedicated board of directors and generous donors. These supporting individuals are rewarded by seeing students not only getting into college, but earning degrees. Each July, the Grant Napear Fairway to the Future fundraising golf tournament is a chance for Future Sacramento graduates to celebrate their achievements and express thanks to those who helped them succeed.

“If it weren’t for Future Sacramento, I wouldn’t be here as a Cal Poly SLO graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering, plus a minor in construction management,” said Sindia Maya, a 2019 Cal Poly San Luis Obispo graduate, at this year’s tournament. “I can still remember being accepted into Future Sacramento in 2012. That was the moment the question changed from, ‘Am I going to be able to go to college?’ to ‘What do I have to (do) on my part to make it possible?’ I’m a story of what a human being can accomplish when simply given an opportunity and a little bit of faith and support by individuals.”

Other Future Sacramento college graduates include the very first Future graduate Monica Sandoval, who’s earned a master’s degree; Diem Le, the first Future graduate to go to pharmacy school; Eden Racket, a University of Chicago graduate who earned special honors in English with his degree and is now a legal writing specialist; Luciano Zuniga, a recent UC Berkeley graduate with a bachelor of arts in public health who started a job with The Greenlining Institute; and Sophia Fields, a graduate this year of

the NYU Tisch School of the Arts who interned in and now works in the film industry.

Future Sacramento welcomes volunteers, and donors are greatly needed to fund scholarships. “We make the most efficient use of donated funds, ensuring all available resources are in place to help scholarship recipients through graduation,” Marlow says. “Please join us in building a foundation for more students to attend and succeed in college.”
