The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce has raised over $40,000 in their First Responder Gratitude Campaign, buying gift cards from chamber member businesses to give to local first responders, and infuse money back into the economy.
The Campaign, with Lead Sponsor, Sand Canyon Country Club who matched up to $15,000, ran through the month of March and exceeded its initial goal. In addition to the more than $40,000 raised, Six Flags Magic Mountain has donated 2,400 theme park tickets to the campaign as well.
“This campaign is another example of our local SCV Chamber working collaboratively and going above and beyond during the pandemic to support our businesses, first responders and community,” stated Santa Clarita City Mayor Bill Miranda. “I am beyond proud of our full community, how they have come together, and made each of us SCV proud, and proving that we are better together.”
Firefighters were forced to pull back after flames crept close to a sheriff s office filled with weapons and ammo, but were later able to return to work on containing the blaze.
Zonta Club of Santa Clarita will be hosting their 36th annual Women in Service Celebration, to honor 17 women serving the Santa Clarita Valley.
The club welcomes all to join them to honor these women who have worked hard to improve the lives of other women and girls in the Santa Clarita Valley. The volunteers were nominated by non-profits that share Zonta’s mission.
The nominees are:Jasmine Renae Ball – Samuel Dixon Family Health Center
Nancy Barker – Assistance League of Santa Clarita
Mimi Baum – Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital Auxiliary
Dawn Begley – WiSH Education Foundation
Marianne Cederlind – Carousel Ranch
Julia Estrada – Santa Clarita Valley Boys & Girls Club

Vanguard Protection fully supports the hard working men and women of the local law enforcement in Santa Clarita, and help supplement service where possible.
