#GIVING TUESDAY is DECEMBER 2nd

12/1/2014

 
Picture
​To the Friends & Families of FOCUSfish~
 
Thanks to the generosity of our Angels and Student Families, FOCUSfish is growing into a viable, sustainable non-profit.  With new expansion into the East Side of Los Angeles, and talks with Children’s Hospital about bringing our aerial program to children in need of HOPE, Year 8 is looking UP.  
 
FOCUSfish was able to continue its partnerships with YACHAD (families of children with Autism and other special needs) and COACHART (families of children with terminal illness).  Because of these long-term, successful partnerships, we are able to more frequently serve these families, taking both programs to a monthly schedule.

​FOCUSfish is adding yet another Title I school to its roster mid-year, keeping student bodies MOVING in their school day.  
 
This Winter-Spring, FOCUSFish continues to bring its performance fitness culture to our local youth.  Kristy Beauvais, Executive Director, will be choreographing aerial feats for Pippin with the Topanga Youth Services, and Aladdin for Class Act and Topanga Elementary School.  Kristy will also be directing and producing the Oakwood and St. James Circus Intensives, again this year.  
 
Our exciting star-studded fundraising gala is in the planning stages for a September debut.  Look out for more exciting news about the musical line-up set to ROCK THE TOWER!

FOCUSfish is so grateful to touch the lives of over 5000 families in the Greater Los Angeles area.  But, there is still so much to do and so many more people in need of inspiring, healthy programming.  
 
We know you have so many options for charitable giving, as there are people in need all over the world.  But if our growing, little charity has flown into your world and changed the lives of your family, think of what we could do to change the world for the better… TOGETHER.
 
Please help us buy more equipment to outfit our school programs, purchase quality mats for our circus tent and camps, bring our circus tent out of storage and drop into a community in need, and reach 2000 more families in 2015!
 
If your company does matching grants, just let Kristy know and she will provide the necessary paperwork for your end-of-year giving.  
 
Click on the options below or write a check to FOCUSfish before the end of the year to get your tax-deductible donation in for 2014.

Thank you for all that you do and for believing in the FLYING FISH!
 
With Love and Gratitude,

FOCUSfish is a nonprofit 501c3 organization | EIN # 26-0530647 | View Guidestar Profile
FOCUSfish is committed to a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Each individual has the right to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal opportunities and prohibits discriminatory practices, including harassment. Therefore, FOCUSfish expects that all relationships among persons in the workplace will be business-like and free of bias, prejudice, discrimination, and harassment.

In order to keep this commitment, FOCUSfish maintains a strict policy of prohibiting unlawful harassment of any kind, including sexual harassment and harassment based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, sex, age, physical or mental disability or any other characteristic protected by state, federal or local employment discrimination laws. This policy applies to all FOCUSfish agents and specialists, including supervisors and non-supervisory employees, and to independent contractors who engage in unlawful harassment in the workplace.

Sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to, making unwanted sexual advances and requests for sexual favors where either:
  1. Submission to such conduct is made an explicit or implicit term or condition of employment; or
  2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis of employment decisions affecting such individual; or
  3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

Employees who violate this policy are subject to discipline up to and including the possibility of immediate discharge. Examples of unlawful harassment include, but are not limited to:
  • Verbal conduct such as epithets, derogatory jokes or comments, slurs or unwanted sexual advances, invitations or comments.
  • Visual conduct such as derogatory and/or sexually oriented posters, photography, cartoons, drawings, e-mail and faxes or gestures.
  • Physical conduct such as assault, unwanted touching, blocking normal movement or interfering with work directed at an employee because of the employee’s sex or other protected characteristic.
  • Threats and demands to submit to sexual requests in order keep one’s job or avoid some other loss, and offers of employment benefits in return for sexual favors.
  • Retaliation for having reported or threatened to report unlawful harassment.

Any employee or other person who believes they have been harassed by a co-worker, supervisor, or agent of FOCUSfish or by a non-employee should promptly report the facts of the incident or incidents and the names of the individual(s) involved to their program coordinator or advisory council contact, or in the alternative, to a board member. Upon receipt of a complaint, FOCUSfish will undertake a prompt, thorough, objective and good faith investigation of the harassment allegations.

If the organization determines that harassment has occurred, effective remedial action will be taken in accordance with the circumstances involved. Any employee determined by the FOCUSfish to be responsible for harassment will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

​Employees will not be retaliated against for filing a complaint and/or assisting in a complaint or investigation process. Further, we will not tolerate or permit retaliation by supervisors or co-workers against any complainant or anyone assisting in a harassment investigation.
