In Honor of Karen Sydow ❤️ By janice Posted October 1, 2021 In Articles, Blog 3 0 THIS FRIDAY!!! @McDonalds for Tierra Two weeks ago the obituary Erik Sydow wrote in honor of his sister, Karen Sydow, who was a Tierra Associate for over three decades, was Tweeted by #DanielMiller, a journalist for the Los Angeles Times. Catching the attention of thousands of readers, Karen’s obituary went viral. In addition to an unforgettable smile, Erik shared publicly that Karen was notably a big McDonald’s fan, and one of the three words she knew how to say was “Donalds.” Upon learning this, two local McDonald’s franchisees have decided to team up for restaurant fundraisers in Karen’s honor to support Tierra! COME OUT AND SUPPORT! WHERE: FRIDAY, OCT. 1ST | 12 – 7PM MCDONALD’S, 6433 PLATT AVENUE, WEST HILLS, CA 91307 MCDONALD’S OWNER/OPERATOR: MICHAEL TECK FRIDAY, OCT. 8TH | 12 – 7PM MCDONALD’S, 7950 FOOTHILL BLVD, SUNLAND, CA 91040 MCDONALD’S OWNER/OPERATOR: RICHARD BECHGUENTURIAN JR. The owners and operators of both locations will donate 50% of the proceeds from fundraiser sales to Tierra del Sol. McDonald’s Southern California owner/operators will match 100% of donations up to $15,000. In honor of Karen’s favorite meal – a McDonald’s cheeseburger, fries, and a Coca-Cola – McDonald’s partners at The Coca-Cola Company will donate proceeds from every Coca-Cola beverage sold during the fundraisers. All donations will benefit Tierra del Sol! Like so many of the men and women we serve, Karen Sydow’s life and journey are woven into the rich fabric of Tierra’s history. We hope you will come out and support Tierra’s mission by visiting one of the two locations mentioned above. Most importantly, your participation honors the life of a remarkable woman who, as her brother Erik so beautifully expressed, “never had wants or misgivings,” and supports Tierra’s programs and services that provide individuals with developmental disabilities the opportunities they deserve. janice RECENT POSTS ZINES DEL SOL ART AND ZINES BY 100+ ARTISTS OUR HOLIDAY VISIONS—THE THIRD SHOW IN TIERRA’S TDS STUDIO CALL ONLINE EXHIBITION SERIES AUTISM IS FEARLESS BY NEIL NATIVIDAD TIERRA WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATE MARLENA ARTHUR THE RAINBOW GIRLS EXHIBITION SEPTEMBER 11 – OCTOBER 30TH, 2021 IN-PERSON RECEPTION ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH FROM 6 – 9 PM CONTACT US Tierra del Sol Foundation 9919 Sunland Blvd. Sunland, CA 91040 USA 818-352-1419 Tierra’s 501(c)(3): 95-2671260 UPCOMING EVENTS OCT 22 Fri all-day Our Holiday Visions – the third ...
