Spring Into Action Event Highlights

At our recent Spring Into Action event at El Vaquero Winery, we celebrated the inspiring journey of Emiliano and his program dog, Quincy. Despite significant challenges, Emiliano joined our Canines Teaching Compassion (CTC) program at the Monterey County Youth Center in East Salinas, where he and Quincy achieved remarkable milestones, showcasing the transformative power of compassion.

We are immensely grateful to our supporters:

  • El Vaquero Winery: Your scenic venue and curated wine selection added elegance to our event.

  • The Alex Lucero Band: Your live performance created an unforgettable atmosphere.

  • Saucey'z Food Truck: Your gourmet sliders and diverse eats delighted our guests.

Impact:

  • Empowering At-Risk Youth: Funds raised support the emotional and personal development of vulnerable youth, fostering a strong sense of community.

  • Rescuing and Rehabilitating Dogs: Contributions provide care, training, and loving homes for homeless dogs.

Celebrating CSUMB Service Learning Volunteers

We are proud to celebrate the incredible contributions of CSUMB Service Learning Volunteers who assisted UnChained earlier this year. These dedicated students supported us in various ways, including videography and graphic arts, helping us share our mission more effectively.

Their creativity and commitment have made a lasting impact on our organization and the communities we serve. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all CSUMB volunteers for their hard work and passion.

To future CSUMB Service Learning volunteers, we invite you to join UnChained in making a difference. Choose us as your nonprofit of choice and become part of a mission that transforms lives—one youth, one dog at a time.

Yappy Hour at The Otters Den

Our Yappy Hour events at the Otters Den in Marina have been a tremendous success, bringing the community together to support UnChained's mission. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the wonderful hospitality of Otters Den, we've raised over $1,000 so far this year.

A special shout-out goes to Tito's Vodka for their amazing sponsorship of $1,000 during one of our Yappy Hour events. We also extend our gratitude to the Surfrider Foundation for joining us at our most recent Yappy Hour, adding to the fun and impact of the event.

Thank you to everyone who has participated in these joyful gatherings. Your support helps us continue transforming lives—one youth, one dog at a time. Join us at our next Yappy Hour and be part of this amazing journey!
