After the final tally was over, real estate agent Candi DeMoura realized her goal to bring in 777 pounds of food was a lucky number indeed. A residential real estate specialist who concentrates on San Diego and La Jolla, DeMoura was able to raise more than 1,118 pounds of food to benefit the San Diego Food Bank in her annual food drive.
DeMoura accepted donations for the drive at the weekly open houses she conducts for her sellers. “A big thank you goes out to all the sellers and listing agents who opened their homes to be used as drop off locations,” said DeMoura. “So many people went out of their way to make donations. It was very heartwarming to see the generosity and compassion of our community on full display.”

Real estate agent Rosamaria Acuña went into the month of March like a lion, motivated to raise awareness and funds for the Friends of Scott Foundation. By partnering with the team at SparkCycle to host charity cycling events throughout the month, Acuña helped raise over $1200 to support children with cancer and their families.
SparkCycle is a local cycling studio with a stadium-based layout. Each month the fitness center hosts a weekly ‘Karma Ride’ to help a favorite nonprofit, in which 100 percent of the proceeds collected are donated.
“I would like to thank the more than 150 riders who came out to show their support for the foundation during the month of March, and especially Stephanie Cochrane, the owner of SparkCycle,” said Acuña, an agent for the past 27 years. “I would also like to thank the folks at Juice Crafters for providing samples after one of the rides. It’s really great to witness the generosity and compassion of our community first hand.”

He was born and raised in Tennessee, but Huell Howser literally traveled to all four corners of California. The genial host of “California’s Gold” and other PBS TV series not only produced 443 episodes about icons in the Golden State, but also became one himself.
Every place he visited, Howser connected on camera and off with the locals, other visitors, and occasional celebrities he casually interviewed over 18 seasons. Although he denied it, he became a celebrity himself. The proof: He was parodied twice on “The Simpsons,” even lending his own voice to his animated character. “Ah-may-zing!” and “That’s great!,” his oft-repeated descriptions of people, places, and things that excited him, became catchphrases among his loyal viewers.
