Adam Truong


University of California Irvine student, Adam Truong, wanted to do more while volunteering his time with Access OC Surgery. After a 15-day, 650-mile bike ride from San Diego to San Francisco where Truong and friend, Huy Do stopped to volunteer at free clinics along the way, they founded the organization, Perpetual Medicine. Through this organization, Truong helps raise awareness and support for free clinics. Along with other cyclists, Truong volunteers his time to clinics while cycling long distances in search of where help is needed.

Nancy Caruso


Believing that our future dwells on the importance of encouraging youth to explore their creativity and imaginative thinking, Nancy Caruso, has founded nonprofit organization, “Get Inspired!” Through this program, Caruso has taught 4,000 students to grow kelp in their classrooms and started the Ocean Gear Marine Science Camp. While observing the loss of arts programs in our schools, Caruso has devoted her time to inspiring creativity among youth through the world of science.

Danny Ramirez

Danny has started up Operation Feed the Homeless at our church and they feed the homeless every other Sunday. They even give birthday parties for the kids in the community whos parents can not afford to have anything for them. Without him starting this outreach we would not be so successful. He also is starting up a non-profit where he could mentor young teens which is awesome and amazing. He is just an amazing person!

Nancy Neilson

Nancy is amazing; she is the Director of the preschool at Faith Lutheran in Whittier. She’s always getting the kids and families involved in raising money for St. Jude Hospital for kids with cancer. She accepts special needs kids in the preschool no matter how much they need help with day to day activities. She makes all the kids feel loved and safe and secure no matter what, and she would give the shirt off her back to give to a child or family in need.
