Join OCR in support of the BDR Earth Day 5k, April 28, 2013 at Bolsa Chica State Park

OC Renewables is very excited to support this year's Brian D. Robertson (BDR) Earth Day Family Fun Run / 5k at Bolsa Chica State Park on Sunday, April 28, 2013.

The race starts at 11AM and you can register at Active.com at this link here.

The BDR Earth Day Family Fun Run is one of the primary sources of charitable donations for the Brian D. Robertson Foundation and The BDR Solar Schools Fund.

The Brian D. Robertson Memorial Solar Schools Fund was created to introduce students to solar power by having a total of 20,000 solar energy systems installed at K-12 schools across the nation by 2020. The “20/20 Vision of Solar in America”™ will put solar electricity within reach of millions of students across the country – a goal that embodies Brian’s belief that education is critical for developing a green energy economy and strengthening our nation’s future.

The Brian D. Robertson Foundation was established by the Robertson family to support organizations that have a positive impact on the environment and that promote family wellness. The foundation is committed to putting the resources raised by the donors back into the local communities from which they came.

Brian Robertson was a dedicated family man serving as father, husband, son and brother. He was also an incredibly talented serial entrepreneur and business leader—a true solar pioneer and visionary.

At the time of his death, he was the Chief Executive Officer at Amonix, Inc., a company specializing in the design and manufacture of utility-scale solar power systems, headquartered in Seal Beach, CA. Brian died in a plane crash on December 22, 2011 at the age of 38.
