How does your immune system work? - Emma Bryce

Explore how your immune system’s vast network of cells, tissues, and organs coordinate your body’s defenses against bacteria, viruses and toxins.

--

The immune system is a vast network of cells, tissues, and organs that coordinate your body’s defenses against any threats to your health. Without it, you’d be exposed to billions of bacteria, viruses, and toxins that could make something as minor as a paper cut or a seasonal cold fatal. So how does it work? Emma Bryce takes you inside the body to find out.

2023 Golf Tournament

A HUGE thank you to ALL who made this year’s Matt Garcia Annual Charity Golf Tournament a tremendous success - from the golfers, to each and every one of our generous sponsors and all of the awesome volunteers! It was a perfect morning out at the beautiful Rancho Solano Golf Course, beginning with Lenny Williams from “Tower of Power” singing the National Anthem, followed by a day of golfing, eating, drinking, and fun. 

The day culminated with a lovely dinner banquet where Lesley Snedeker DePorto and Joey Ramirez were remembered and honored, along with a silent and a live auction and raffle prize winners being announced. Throughout this amazing day, we could definitely feel Matt’s inspirational spirit with us.

With your help, we were able to not only meet but EXCEED our monetary goal! These funds will be used to provide scholarships to underprivileged youth, as well as support many of our other community events and worthwhile causes. THANK YOU AGAIN TO EVERYONE INVOLVED!

Why is biodiversity so important? - Kim Preshoff

Our planet’s diverse, thriving ecosystems may seem like permanent fixtures, but they’re actually vulnerable to collapse. Jungles can become deserts, and reefs can become lifeless rocks. What makes one ecosystem strong and another weak in the face of change? Kim Preshoff details why the answer, to a large extent, is biodiversity.
