A Sweet Surprise
November 7, 2023
Meet Lyla Callahan, a pint-sized philanthropist who dedicated a whole day to raising money for AHLF by selling cookies and lemonade. This sweet girl and her family fell in love with the magic the Discovery Center inspires when she participated in Discovery Camp this summer and wanted to do something to give back.
Lyla proved you are never too young to make an impact on your community as she not only brought smiles to everyone who visited her stand, but also our staff when she came to deliver her donation. Celebrating her hard work with a cuddle from Rosy, we cannot thank her and her family enough for reminding us that even the smallest gestures of goodwill can have a tremendous impact on our communities.

To show our gratitude, we're dedicating an entire month to thank our over 1,000 members for their dedication to our Foundation and the environmental education of our community (young and young at heart). To do this we host several events throughout the month exclusive to members and their family. Columbia Sportswear Employee Store August 24th – September 18th With such an active community, we know how much 50%-60% off brand-new active clothing from top brands mean to you! That’s why we partnered with the Columbia Sportswear Employee Store to give members exclusive access to their private employee store in Carlsbad. Bonus: Columbia donated 10% of all sales made by AHLF members back to the Foundation! Adult Lecture Series ~ “Killer Algae” September 4th Over 15 members joined us for a compelling presentation by Carolyn Lieberman of California Fish & Wildlife on the fight against Algerian sea lavender, also known as "Killer Algae.” Members discovered how the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation and its partners are tackling this urgent issue and learn how they can help protect our ecosystem.
