Due to the recent budget cuts by Gov. Schwarzenegger, many programs are beginning to lose their lifelines. One of which is the California state park system where the governor has cut $14.2 million in funding, forcing over 100 California State Parks to the brink of closing down. We hope that this event will send a message to all of the California state lawmakers stating that these parks are vital components of our communities should not be cut.<br /> <br /> For more information on the State Park situation please visit: www.calparks.org<br /> <br /> <br /> We (FYF FEST) will be donating $1 of every ticket to two organizations making positive change within the community on a daily basis, Homeboy Industries and Harvest of Hope.<br /> <br /> <strong>About Homeboy Industries:</strong><br /> Homeboy Industries traces its roots to &quot;Jobs For A Future&quot; (JFF), a program created in 1988 by Father Gregory Boyle while he was serving as pastor of Dolores Mission parish in Boyle Heights. Begun as a jobs program in 1988, offering alternatives to gang violence in one of the toughest neighborhoods in the city, the program soon grew beyond the parish.<br /> <br /> In only a few years, Homeboy Industries has had an important impact on the Los Angeles gang problem, with young people from over half of the region's 1,100 known gangs seeking a way out through Homeboy. Thousands of young people have walked through the doors of Homeboy Industries looking for a second chance, and finding community. Gang affiliations are left outside as these young people work together, side by side, learning the mutual respect that comes from shared tasks and challenges.

Thus, it is the goal of the Harvest of Hope Foundation to fill in the gaps in service to this most hard-working yet needy group of seasonal migrant workers and families by distributing funds to pay for gas, tires, car repairs, rent, utilities, medical services, food, clothing, funeral expenses and educational scholarships.
