Partnership with CRM Learning:

CRM Learning, a leading provider of video-based training systems, has generously pledged to distribute one Natural High DVD for every CRM Training video that is purchased. CRM Learning provides professionals in business, government, healthcare and education with video based training programsdesigned to improve interpersonal skills and overall organizational effectiveness. They help others improve key competences such as accountability, change management, meeting openers, etc with the potential to truly change behavior for a positive result. Some of their major clients include Walt Disney, Wells Fargo and the Veterans Administration.

Thanks to the active interest of Peter Jordan, President and CEO of CRM Learning, the Sundt Memorial Foundation is guaranteed to reach more donors, parents, and friends while simultaneously affecting students, teachers, and schools with more Natural High DVDs. Jordan’s sincere support in the Foundation's mission of keeping today's youth off drugs and promoting a positive alternative, has paved way for a partnership between these two entities. It is individuals like Peter Jordan and sponsors like CRM Learning that give SMF hope in making change.

 SMF 5% day at Whole Foods, La Jolla: 

January 9^th 2008, marked a day of community fun and activism as grocery shoppers had the opportunity to not only feed their families, but shop for a cause! Thanks to Trudy Zwerenz, Mark Zwerenz and Jason Gierson, a partnership with Whole Foods Marketplace in La Jolla was created to benefit the mission of the Sundt Memorial Foundation (SMF). Whole Foods generously agreed to donate 5% of the day’s total profits to SMF for the continuation of their Natural High DVD Series (NHDS).

With the help of friends, donors, and the La Jolla community at large, Whole Foods and SMF raised over $4,750 that day for Natural High Substance Abuse Prevention!!! Jason Gierson, Marketing Supervisor at Whole Foods La Jolla, said this was one of the most successful outcomes they have had with this event.

SMF is very grateful to loyal advocates, Mark Zwerenz and mother, Trudy Zwerenz for taking the time and energy to initiate this relationship. Supporters like them, who search deep within their strengths and social networks, not only gather donations but truly build Foundation support and awareness in the long run.  

This opportunity opened doors for SMF to inform the community of the effect of drug and alcohol abuse in their very own home town. We hope more friends and donors are encouraged as to what their skills and contacts can bring to the table. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please share with us at info@sundtmemorial.org, we look forward to hearing from you!
