Debbie Does Annual Fund Raising For the
Orange County Muscular Dystrophy Association
 

Debbie “in jail” for Muscular Distrophy.

Annually, Debbie allows herself to be “arrested” and put into “jail” by local volunteers of the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA-Jerry’s Kids). She’s then required to collect “bail money” from friends, relatives and visitors to her web site.  Once donated, the money “springs her” from jail.  The two-month-long event requires many hours of her time and a prominent MDA presence on her nationally famous Realtor web site at www.DebbieFerrari.com.

Please help Jerry's Kids; Donate Here.

Debbie’s San Clemente Recipe Cookbook
Earns Thousands of Dollars for
San Clemente’s Downtown Business Association To Help Beautify the Downtown

As a board member of the San Clemente Downtown Business Association,
(DBA), Debbie chaired the “Community Cookbook Project,” in which
residents were asked to compete for prizes for the best recipe in
various cooking categories.  The best recipies were published in
this cookbook which Debbie edited…. the top winner got a
$500 shopping spree.  The $15,000 budget was paid out in only two
months, and to date, book sales have proved a $35,000 profit for the
DBA.  The merchant group uses the funds for downtown beautification,
to help other charities, and for scholarships.

Debbie, with Heritage of  San Clemente
Foundation President, Bill Koelzer

For eight years, Debbie Ferrari has been an active vice president and board member of the Heritage of San Clemente Foundation, one of the city’s most active non-profit groups which is a leader in getting things done in the community.

The Heritage Foundation was the major organization behind saving the Casa Romantica, the Cliffside home of the founder of San Clemente, from the bulldozer, and for turning it into a magnificently restored civic and cultural center for the entire community.

The Heritage Foundation also almost single-handedly raised the $200,000 to have a superb bronze statue of a Marine saluting the flag be erected in a brand new city park near San Clemente’s pier. More than 2,000 residents and scores of active duty Marines, including several generals, from nearby Marine Camp Pendleton, attended the dedication and statue unveiling on November 19, 2005.
