Donations Matched by Anonymous Donor

From POC President Denis Trafecanty:

At 7am this Saturday I’ll be starting the San Diego 100-mile run with about 150 other runners in the Laguna Mountains.  We will go around Big Laguna Lake then north up the Pacific Crest Trail, across Sunrise Highway and down Noble Canyon to Pine Valley.  We then head back up Noble Canyon to Pioneer Mail, Stonewall Mine, Stonewall Peak, over to Cuyamaca Peak and then here and there through the night.  I’ll end up at the finish line in the Laguna’s hopefully by 11am on Sunday.

The special part about this run is that we have anonymous donors who will contribute $200 for each mile that I run (up to $20,000) to The Protect Our Communities Foundation (POC).  The only hitch is that the donors want POC to find matching donations.  If we only get $12,000 in other donations, then the major donor will give us a $12,000 match.  So, for those who can afford to make a donation before August 15th, we will get a match!

We need all the help we can get to stop the Goliath (SDGE/Sempra) from building a transmission line that is clearly not needed and will cause irreparable damage to our beloved backcountry, including our public and private lands, and will most likely contribute to an uncontrollable fire catastrophe like in 2003 and 2007.

If you are inclined please make a donation (Support POC) And wish me a safe journey!

Regards, Denis
