To celebrate and honor the 70th Birthday of Apple Co-Founder and living legend, Steve 'Woz' Wozniak, we have created an online virtual birthday celebration along with some of Woz's closest friends and fans including Andrea Bocelli, Alejandro Sanz, Shaq, Jay Leno, Mark Cuban, Chris Rock, Tony Robbins and many more. The funds raised through Woz's birthday celebration, scavenger hunt and finale will go towards Woz's favorite foundation-Jewel's Inspiring Children Foundation.
Co-created by Grammy Nominated Singer-Songwriter Jewel, Ryan Wolfington, and Marty Hennessy, for 18 years The Inspiring Children Foundation and Never Broken program has been empowering children struggling with financial hardship, anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation by giving them the ultimate environment to survive then thrive at the highest levels.
With teenage suicide up 70%, anxiety and depression doubling, the foundation has been at the forefront of solving this mental health epidemic. The program arms at-risk youth with everything they need to be physically, emotionally and mentally healthy in a fun and inspirational way, online and in person. This ecosystem of excellence includes; emotional intelligence, SEL, mindfulness/meditation, DBT, Trauma treatment, group counseling and mentoring, leadership development, entrepreneur skills, nutrition, yoga, tennis, sleep science, and academics. 80% of operations are run by the children. Children gain know-how, an understanding of themselves, and confidence by earning their way in the real life “project driven learning” program.
The young leaders have been so academically, athletically and personally developed that 95% have been offered scholarships and admissions into the best colleges in the world including: Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Georgetown, Penn-Wharton, Brown, Dartmouth, Williams, Columbia, Naval Academy, USC, Vanderbilt and 100 more. Most importantly these children are being armed with a “psychology for life” that helps them to generate their own peace of mind and contentment as self-actualized leaders.
