<div>I'm raising funds for my friend Eduardo, who has been a friend of almost 15 years and has been instrumental to my career, as he makes a major life and career transition. After many years working in tech, Eduardo knows he wants to help people in a different way. He hopes to return to school for a master's in mindfulness-based transpersonal counseling and move back to California, the place where he feels happiest. 
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div> Right now, this transition is happening at a difficult time. Eduardo was recently laid off from the job that brought him to Colorado. He is excited for the future and clear about the direction he wants to take, but getting from where he is now to that next chapter has been hard. 
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div> Donations will help support Eduardo's move back to California and cover school-related expenses, including hopefully the first semester of his master's program. His goal is to be permanently back in San Diego by the end of the year so he can begin building a life that feels more aligned with who he is and the work he wants to do. 
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div> If you're able to give, thank you for supporting Eduardo during this important transition. Every donation or share would help lighten the financial pressure and make it easier for him to take these next steps.

Support Eduardo's Next Chapter

<p>Hi! We’re Kayla and Jordan, and apparently, at some point, we decided that walking more than 100 miles across Portugal and Spain sounded like a fun vacation. 
</p>

<p>Starting this Friday (8/14), we’re taking on the Portuguese Coastal Camino, a 7 day journey from the Porto region to Santiago de Compostela. We’ll begin walking in Esposende and make our way through Viana do Castelo, Caminha, Vigo, Pontevedra, Caldas de Reis and Padrón before finally reaching Santiago. 
</p>

<p>That means early mornings, long days, steep hills, unpredictable weather and more than 100 miles on foot. Our longest day will be over 20 miles, and neither of us is emotionally prepared to discuss the blister situation yet. 
</p>

<p>But we wanted this walk to be about something much bigger than reaching Santiago. 
</p>

<p>We’re raising money for UNICEF, an organization working in more than 190 countries and territories to protect children and help them survive and thrive. UNICEF provides children and families with essentials like clean water, nutrition, health care, vaccines, education, protection and emergency relief, often in the world’s most difficult and dangerous places. 
</p>

<p>Every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, safe, educated and hopeful, no matter where they were born or what circumstances they were born into. UNICEF works every day to help make that possible. 
</p>

<p>Our goal is to turn every mile we walk into meaningful support for children around the world. 
</p>

<p>If you’d like to join us, please consider: 

</p>

<p>
</p>
<ul>
<li><span>Donating any amount. Truly, every dollar matters. </span><br />
</li>
<li><span>Sponsoring a mile of our walk </span><br />
</li>
<li><span>Sharing this fundraiser with someone who may want to support </span><span>it</span><br />
</li>
<li><span>Sending thoughts, prayers and blister-prevention advice </span><br />
</li>
</ul>
<p>
</p>



<p>

</p>

<p><span>We’ll be posting daily updates from the Camino so you can follow along with the beautiful coastal views, the towns we pass through, our progress toward Santiago and the exact moment one of us begins questioning every decision that led us here. </span>

</p>

<p><span>We’re incredibly grateful for every donation, share and message of encouragement. Thank you for helping us make these 100+ miles mean so much more. </span>
</p>
<p>

</p>

<p><span>Let’s walk some miles and help some kids!</span>
</p>
<p>

</p>

<p><span>With love and soon-to-be very tired feet,</span>
</p>

<div>My mom and dad grew up as next door neighbors up in Mount Oliver on the South Side. All my uncles and aunts are Yinzers. Even though I’ve never lived in Pittsburgh, I feel confident if you cut me open I’d bleed black and yellow.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I also know that it is so critical to help fight hunger and that’s why I'm taking on the Walk 30 Miles in June Challenge. Powered by the Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins, this challenge brings fans together for one shared mission: to raise critical funds and awareness for the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your gift today helps provide meals, and hope, for neighbors in need. This challenge is supported by a $1 million match from the Richard King Mellon Foundation, so every dollar truly makes a difference. Your generosity helps turn miles into impact.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for supporting this challenge and the community counting on us.

30 Mile Walk in June to Fight Hunger in Pittsburgh

<div>On Wednesday, November 30, 2022, Ryan Ross tragically and unexpectedly passed away. Ryan played such a significant role in the lives of those he loved: husband to Jill, father to Parker, Charlie, and Stevie (and Sonny), son to Camille and Robert, stepson to Mike and Simone, brother to Meredith and Robbie, uncle to Camille, Russell and Mikey, and dear friend to so many. Ryan was the love of Jill’s life, and Jill was Ryan’s, spending the past 14 years building the life they dreamed of together. Ryan’s most significant role was being a father to his three beautiful daughters, Parker (age 4) and twins Charlie and Stevie (age 1). If you were fortunate to know Ryan in recent years, you know being a father was paramount to his existence, and his love for his daughters was immeasurable. Ryan was the ultimate girl dad and a pillar in the girls' lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Fundraising efforts have been organized on behalf of Jill and Ryan by Natalie Stepp and Adam Parker, Ryan and Jill’s best friends since college. We created it as an outlet for the tremendous amount of love Ryan, Jill and their daughters are receiving as family and friends become aware of Ryan’s heartbreaking passing. If you would like to support the Ross family, in lieu of meals or flowers, please donate through GoFundMe as that is the best way to support the Ross family during this time. The donations will be used for Parker, Charlie, and Stevie’s childcare as Jill navigates this next chapter as sole provider for their daughters. With your assistance, our hope is to alleviate the Ross family's childcare expenses for the next year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From Jill and Ryan's families, we thank you for your generosity, kindness, love, and support through this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please note, as Ryan’s memorial details are made available, they will be posted on this site (expected to be scheduled for January 2023). For any additional information, please contact Natalie Stepp or Adam Parker through this platform.

Brad Raistrick, our Lead Release Manager, and a long-time Classy team member, lost his battle with cancer and passed away on Monday, February 22nd. <br /><br />Brad was diagnosed with cancer about one year ago and his unrelenting optimism and happy attitude in the face of his own mortality and health concerns left many of us shocked with the news of his passing. He was passionate about an eclectic array of life's treasures which drew many of us to Brad and opened doors for anyone to spark a connection with him. We all cherish memories of time spent with Brad, from looking out over the balcony onto the Petco Park stadium to receiving sage advice and tips on everything from food and craft beer to parenting. <br /><br />Brad hit his six year anniversary at Classy in January and said confidently that he'd never enjoyed working at a place so much because of Classy's mission and teammates. He felt fortunate to be one of the people who impacts and facilitates positive changes for people around the world. He is dearly missed as one of the most devout, hard-working, intelligent, and passionate people that we've ever met.<br /><br />Brad was married for 10 years to his wife Kristine and had two children, Audrey who is 8 and Luke who is 5. Classy will be hosting this fundraiser to support Brad's family during this heartbreaking time. Funds raised will go towards saving for his two children's college education and supporting Brad's mother. Our goal is to raise $25k over the next 4 to 6 weeks. <br /><br />Thank you in advance for helping to support our Classy family as we continue to honor the life and memory of Brad Raistrick.

Honoring Brad

Director Bruce Muller has nearly completed </strong><strong>this vision. Bruce feels very fortunate to have worked in </strong><strong>collaboration with this meticulously chosen group of </strong><strong>talented audio and visual artists; </strong><strong>most notably, renowned cinematographer Sonny Miller,  </strong><strong>who passed away during the making of this film, which has taken nearly 7 years. After taking some time to mourn and process Sonny's passing,  prodigous cinematographer, Scott Soens, came in to finsh the shooting of the film with Bruce and Kassia. </strong><strong>The epic scope of Sonny's gifted compositional prowess </strong><strong>are exemplified in Epoche, which sadly, are some of his </strong><strong>last. <br /><br /></strong><strong>At this point, to honor the tireless hours of dedication and </strong><strong>highest levels of creative investment from all involved, it is </strong><strong>of the utmost importance that our post production processes are seen to f</strong><strong>ruition at the professional level this film project deserves. <br /><br />We </strong><strong>would greatly appreciate any contribution or gesture in </strong><strong>support to attain the funding needed </strong><strong>which includes: Color Grading, DCP Compression, 5.1 Surround Sound Mixing, VFX,  and other costs that will accrue such as paying our technicians, promotional media, PR, etc. </strong><br />     <br />      <strong>We will be sharing our film in fine art festivals, galleries, </strong><strong>museums, and film festivals as well as other multi-media </strong><strong>events around the world.</strong><br /><br />Epoché (ἐποχή epokhē, "suspension") is an ancient <br /><br />Greek term which, in its philosophical usage, describes the state where all judgments about non-evident matters are suspended. ... Husserl elaborates the notion of 'phenomenologicalepoché' or 'bracketing' in Ideas.
