AVCA, PCM Team Up for Relay for Life
Members of the Aliso Viejo Community Association and Professional Community Management will help raise funds and show support by participating in the event Saturday.
Professional Community Management of California, Inc. (PCM) announced Monday that staff and members of the Aliso Viejo Community Association (AVCA) will participate in the Relay for Life of Aliso Viejo, this Saturday and Sunday at Grand Park.
The two organizations will join former Association Planning Chairman Ross Chun for the 24-hour relay event that starts at 10 a.m. Saturday to help raise funds to fight cancer and preserve the environment.
The Relay for Life supports the American Cancer Society. Grand Park is located at Grand Ave. and City Lights Drive, above the Town Center.

“Participating in the Relay for Life is one more way in which they contribute to the community,” said current Association President Bill Conley. “PCM’s support and willingness to join in this effort speaks highly of their desire to join in and be part Aliso Viejo’s close knit family.”
Donny Disbro, chief executive officer of PCM said, “We’re thrilled to be part of this event that brings people together in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.”

In addition to PCM and AVCA, Eco-Stride LLC works with community partners such as The Surfrider Foundation, Transition Aliso Viejo, Savannah’s Organic Ranch, The Laguna Canyon Foundation, Cox Communications and the Aliso Viejo Patch to make the Relay for Life a more sustainable event.
This year, Eco-Strike created the Eco-Stride Hydration Station, a booth at the event where attendees and participants can fill reusable water bottles donated by Aliso Viejo Patch, instead of bringing single-use plastic bottles to Grand Park.
“I have participated in the Aliso Viejo Relay for Life for many years, but this year is particularly significant because this year my family has been touched by this terrible disease,” said Ross Chun, Founder and CEO of Eco-Stride. “This year we’re walking for my sister-in-law Teresa, and we’re working to keep plastics out of the environment by refilling water bottles for everyone who participates.
