all-american fair...
July 3rd
It′s that time of year when America unifies to celebrate its heritage and freedom! We get the privilege to celebrate while also making this day incredible for hundreds of inner-city families. So come help put on a MASSIVE All-American Fair at the Dream Center.
There will be everything from gigantic blow-up water slides, a huge ferris wheel, countless carnival games and rides to “All-American Food” like funnel cakes, corn on the cob and hotdogs! HaHa (Every ride only $1). Come celebrate America while making this weekend extra special for some that have been hit financially really hard!

laundry love...
July 10th
We are taking the party back to Wishy Wash Laundromat! It′s all happening... from laundry carts turned into our Wishy Wash Grand Prix, THE Miss Wishy Wash Fashion Walk and Face Painting with the little girls, The Misfits Sock Puppet Show, to just having a blast paying for everyone′s laundry and offering the Snack Attack Smorgasbord!
If you have any quarters left over from LA′s parking meters (good luck!), bring them with you to help these families′ laundry loads! In the past a few Red Eyers even have brought their own laundry! Ha but serious! Some individuals there are homeless, so when we wash their grocery cart full of their belongings, we literally are literally cleaning their "whole world". CHECK the VIDEO FORD MADE OF US from LAST TIME!
PARTY BUS @ 2.30pm
2301 Bellevue Ave. LA, CA 90026

MEET US THERE @ 3pm

Red Eye′s primary focus always comes down to relationships! That′s what Red Eye: LIVE weeks provide... time to slow down the fast pace of life and connect in groups of 2-4 people in numerous locations. It enables us to be intentional about being a friend to another or those you want to get involved with Red Eye! Go ahead. Connect thru Red Eye′s Facebook. Organize someone to chill with. CHECK THIS VIDEO for IDEAS!

in case you didn′t hear..
The Annual Skid Row Strong Man Contest was one of the exciting afternoons anyone could EVER ask for! It started with the Tire Toss, Cement Block Relay, and then we literally shut down Heroine Alley when we all congregated around for the Bench Press Competition in the middle of the road. The men were so strong they broke thru harness in the Full-Body Tug-of-War. The Sledge Hammer Smashing drenched some of us because of the exploding pop cans! The Truck Pulling Contest went to a whole new level when 11 girls started a Dance Party in the back of the truck as men took their turn pulling the truck in hopes of setting the best time! The Graffiti Artist DesigNine created a breathtaking 8x10ft backdrop for the Trophy and Plaque Presentations! All in all, it was a great day with some of the greatest people anywhere!! These men are truly an inspiration to all!
The following week had our Red Eye VISION CASTING NIGHT at the Beverly Hilton. It was so refreshing as we sat poolside while a surfing video was projected over the pool and shared vision of what is happening and developing with our Red Eye Family Worldwide! There is no one like you guys!!
