Rewarding Adrian Rocha a Fan for Good
Can kids use their creative writing skills to make a difference? The answer is a resounding, YES! We are proud to announce our first Olympic High School creative student writer winner; Adrian Rocha, whose sports essay inspired our judge Craig Bergman, founder of creative writing company Word Up Kids, “Adrian Rocha’s essay had the most originality and fire” (to read Adrian’s story, click here.).
Adrian won court side tickets to see his favorite team the Clippers with his dad. That’s the view from his seats (VIP tickets provided by First Choice Tickets, special thanks to Kenny Forman owner).
This is a proud moment for son and father. I visited the school to show Adrian the tickets he won, and to take a picture with teacher Susanne Liaw who inspired the students to participate, and give their best. And I followed up, later to hand deliver the tickets to Adrian’s father, Rolando Cortazar.
We are grateful to inspire, reward, and serve students who participate in our creative writing competitions. You have made us all proud, we solute you Adrian, you are truly a Fan for Good!

Creative writing empowers kids to have a unique voice and develops their imagination to see the world differently.

Special Thanks to Mark Duvall a Fan for Good
The Back Story
I am a technical recruiter and first met Mark in 2007 when I got him a job at Wolters Kluwer.
Mark and I connected again in 2011. I was doing a recruiting search for Live Office, the job was perfect for Mark, close to his house, and Nick the CEO was looking for someone to drive the technology.
Nick couldn’t afford my fee and hire Mark. So, I forgave my fee to help Live Office, and Mark. I felt, it was important to the success of the company to have Mark on board. And felt great to use recruiting for good.
This decision inspired me to use recruiting for good; and for the past several years, I helped fund nonprofits, rock bands, and individuals. In doing so, eventually I found my passion and purpose to fund and reward people travel.
Present Day Mark is a Fan for Good
I reached out to Mark and told him, I am using recruiting for Good to fund and Gift Kids World Cup Trips, and I needed his help in finding clients who could use Recruiting for Good. That afternoon he introduced me to a company in Los Angeles,and got retained for searches. And we just placed our first person at the company. Because of Mark, every placement we make in 2014-2015, will help Gift Kids World Cup Trips.
Mark, thank you for your help; you have made a difference in the community, we are funding travel for Gonzo Soccer a nonprofit supporting girls in under-served communities.
Imagine how many lives, we can change and inspire, with each kid going to the World Cup.
It takes a community to create social change; “Everyone is Recruiting for Good; companies that retain us, people who refer companies hiring staff, and candidates who entrust us to find them great jobs.”
Mark you are a Fan for Good. Thank you, for helping us use Recruiting for Good.

Imagine what your life would be like if you were able to help your family, friends, kids, and favorite nonprofit travel to the World Cup.
100 Kids
About 2 months ago, in the midst of USA Men’s Soccer Team magical run at the World Cup, I was inspired by the message One Team. One Nation. So much so, that I decided to use my company (Recruiting for Good) to “Gift 100 Kids World Cup Trips,” and reward Fans for Good travel too.
“I connected with ProActive Soccer Tours a sports travel specialist to manage all the logistics, I found Gonzo Soccer, a soccer nonprofit supporting girls in under-served communities (to gift trips), and connected to Fuzeus, a social media company that helps nonprofits build a following. We work together to inspire and serve fans for good; families, friends, and kids too.”
