This academic and applied background have given Shields unique insight into the relationship between humans, health and technology.

Service Day 2018

Make a Difference

Join us at this year’s #AmareInAction Service Day at our Heart2Heart Mental Wellness Symposium this September! Our Service Day is an opportunity for the entire Amare family to give back to those in need. This event will take place on Saturday, Sept 22, 2018, at the Amare home office in Irvine, CA, and is open to all Heart2Heart Symposium attendees who sign up here.

This year, thanks to James Beck, one of our leading Wellness Partners, we’re joining forces with the Navajo Nation and the Naomi House (orphanage) to serve and donate items that the community needs. The community struggles with extreme economic challenges and brutally cold weather, and many of the native people are in dire need of durable winter coats.

This Service Day event was inspired due to James’ journey in 2017, where he collected and delivered coats to the Navajo Nation. The “Give Beck” coat drive ended up being a huge success, and after hearing about this, we wanted to help too!

Our goal is to donate 700 coats of all sizes (kids and plus sizes needed) to the Navajo people, and we’re confident we can do it! Bring any new or gently used coats you can spare with you to the Heart2Heart Mental Wellness Symposium and #AmareInAction Service Day. Team Amare will personally deliver the coats to the Navajo Nation on National Make a Difference Day, Oct. 27, 2018.

Join us to improve and enrich your life by exploring our core value of Service. A special thank you to James Beck of “Give Beck” and to Jonathan Nez, Vice President of the Navajo Nation, for connecting us to the Navajo people.

Share on social media and encourage your family and friends to participate too!

In addition, participants who attend our amazing #AmareInAction Service Day will receive an exclusive, event-branded Amare T-Shirt.
