JIMBO’S FUNDRAISER

           

JIMBO’S SUPPORTS THE SEAN O’SHEA FOUNDATION:

The Sean O’Shea Foundation will be one of four recipients participating in the “It’s In the Bag” fundraiser between January 1st and March 31st 2012 at Jimbo’s.

Here is how it works…

Bring in your own shopping bags, cloth, reused paper or plastic bags, and participate in Jimbo’s “It’s in the Bag” program. This program has been set up to help promote the recycling of shopping bags, reward those customers that reuse their bags, and pass the money we save on to your favorite charity. It’s a win for everyone!

Jimbo’s will count how many bags are needed. For each of your full sized bags that they use, they will offer you a US nickel or a Jimbo’s wooden nickel, you choose. Four bins are set up by their cash registers, and each bin is designated for one local charity.  All wooden nickels will be added up at the end of March 31st and checks will be offered to the participating charities.

The Sean O’Shea Foundation will have a bin for your wooden nickels at all four Jimbo’s;

  1. 4S Ranch,10511 4S Commons Drive,Suite #155, San Diego, CA 92127

IN SEAN’S WORDS…

Life’s Cycle
“The avoidable transitions of life, not to be feared, but to be realized.
With this understanding, actually, literally over standing, we can hopefully live each stage to the fullest of our capacity.
Keeping our minds aware of our short presence here may we truly cherish each moment, as difficult as it may sometimes be, treating it, caressing it, loving it as though it were our first, last and only.”
- Sean O’Shea -

The Benefits of Yoga

Yoga provides youth with the gift of inner discipline

  • Yoga enhances the self-confidence of youth and it is a gentle introduction to self-discipline. Yoga improves health which in turn increases vitality, enthusiasm and appreciation of life. In addition the increased circulation resulting from movement and efficient muscle use, tones the whole body
  • Yoga practice increases young people’s awareness and their ability to look within, to think independently and trust themselves. This promotes feelings of self-confidence and peace, affirming students’ ability to engage the world with positive expectations
  • Besides the physical benefits of yoga, it can help improve a child’s ability to focus, concentrate and listen, and it develops flexibility, strength and the joy to learn
  • The whole body is cleansed and nourished more efficiently which optimizes the condition of the various parts of the body…developing balance and mental equilibrium
  • Yoga is a total comprehensive approach to health and fitness…it provides you with increased energy, flexibility, strength, balance, harmony, and gives you a cardiovascular workout as you learn and practice more
  • Yoga provides effective stress management through positive thought patterns and relaxation techniques. Yoga for Students helps develop the ability to be calm in the midst of action and the ability to have a quiet mind in the midst of turmoil
