10 employees participated in brain cancer walk in Fountain Valley last September
Smart Circle employees are helping make the future a bit brighter,
happier and hopeful for cancer warriors. Smart Circle is proud to
announce that 10 of its employees from its corporate office in
Foothill Ranch have united together to support the Don’t Worry, Be Happy
(DWBH) Shirts Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on helping
struggling cancer warriors pay their medical bills. Smart Circle
commends the extensive volunteer efforts of its dedicated employees, who
participated in a variety of events through the foundation over the
past year to help struggling cancer patients afford the treatment they
need and deserve.
Notably, 10 Smart Circle employees served as members of the DWBH team
at the Brain Tumor Walk on Saturday, September 17, 2011 at Mile Square
Regional Park in Fountain Valley. The Smart Circle team walked in
support of Smart Circle employee Erika Larios and her family, who lost
her father to cancer last year. Smart Circle is proud to recognize Erika Larios, Josie
Yerenas, Lindsey Garrison, Gina Gannon, Laura McLoud, Michelle Morales,
Ivan Scherer, Brandy Jones, Banh Hy and Wendy Gonzales for their
efforts at the event.
The Don’t Worry, Be Happy Foundation and shirts were inspired by Kevin
Carlberg, a successful musician who was diagnosed with brain cancer when
he was 26, and miraculously survived six years longer than expected.
Throughout his struggle with cancer, he held the mantra “Don’t Worry, Be
Happy.” The foundation was launched to carry his message of hope and
happiness to individuals facing life threatening diseases and their
families. Currently, the foundation’s mission is two-fold: to spread the
“Don’t Worry, Be Happy” philosophy to children struggling with cancer
at camps and hospitals, and to pay the bills of financially-struggling
cancer warriors.
Employees will continue to support the organization, cancer warriors and
their families throughout the upcoming year through events and/or
donations. For more information about the DWBH Shirts Foundation, please

Here at Smart Circle, we think it’s critical to give back to the local communities we operate in and to global organizations that need our support. We encourage our employees to give back by offering matching contributions to donations, hosting food/toy drives, and fostering an environment where charity and community involvement are encouraged and admired.
