About The Guardsmen

The Guardsmen is a service organization of Bay Area professional men that, since 1947, has devoted its efforts to providing disadvantaged youth an opportunity to participate in camping, educational and other culturally enriching opportunities that they otherwise would not be afforded.

The Guardsmen is committed to advancing at-risk Bay Area youth by funding indoor and outdoor educational programs. We strive to assist those who want to attain the skills necessary to be productive members of society.

Through the Campership program, each year we provide financial support to allow approximately 2,500 children to attend summer camp and other summer programs. Through the Scholarship Funding program, we provide more than 200 annual private school scholarships to enable disadvantaged youth a choice in their education.

All members of The Guardsmen volunteer their time to provide these disadvantaged children with an opportunity to experience life outside the inner City. The members receive no compensation for their services. Our support comes primarily from donor contributions and special events.

The Guardsmen is a volunteer organization that receives no state or federal assistance, nor are we affiliated with any professional fund-raising organization.

About The Ashlyn Dyer Foundation

The donation of Ashlyn Dyer's organs gave the gift of life to many. In this same spirit, The Ashlyn Dyer Foundation for Neurological Research and Support has been created to honor her memory by making a positive impact for others affected with Traumatic Brain Injury.

Injury to the brain or spinal cord affects nearly 2 million people in the United States each year, causing permanent functional disabilities including paraplegia, quadriplegia, and cognitive disorders. Every 15 seconds someone receives a head injury, and every five minutes one of these people will die. Survivors of severe brain injury typically face five to ten years of intensive services. The cumulative mean cost of this cars is currently 4 million dollars per patient.

Bringing new treatments from the laboratory setting to patients requires an integrated effort among basic researchers, clinical researchers, and clinicians. With this in mind, the UCSF Brain and Spinal Injury Center (BASIC) was formed in 2002 to promote collaborative basic, translational, and clinical studies on injuries to the brain and spinal cord.

The Ashlyn Dyer Foundation for Neurological research aims to fund research and raise public awareness. Its ultimate goal is to improve care and reduce the burden of this disease often referred to as The Silent Epidemic.
