July is Disability Pride Month, a worldwide celebration of people with disabilities, their identities, culture, resilience and contributions to society. Originated in the United States, this month-long event commemorates the passage of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in July 1990. At SAMCAR, we take this opportunity to acknowledge a remarkable colleague from the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS® (SILVAR), Karen Trolan. In 2009, Trolan, a SILVAR past president, real estate manager and mother of three was piloting her family's Cessna out of the Truckee airport on Labor Day Weekend when the plane crashed. Her life changed in a moment. Trolan became paraplegic. From that day forward her activities revolved around months of rehab and learning a new way of living, but her pain and injuries didn't stop her. Trolan went on to write a book about her experience, "I CAN STILL DO IT!: The Unstoppable Spirit of a Plane Crash Survivor", and goes on speaking engagements telling her story. We are honored to share Trolan's story in a republished profile "Karen Trolan on Overcoming the Impossible" written by former SILVAR Public Affairs Director Rose Meily in 2023.

On Friday, July 11, SAMCAR's Young Professionals Network, SAMCAR YPN, brought together a group of 25 volunteers to join the Pacific Beach Coalition to pick-up litter at Rockaway Beach in Pacifica, including the nearby streets, parking lots, and switchbacks. Volunteers collected a combined total of 41 pounds of trash, 513 cigarette filters, and 2 pounds of recyclables. They also discovered interesting items like a large 12V rechargeable battery, an umbrella, fake leaves, rebar, fireworks, fishing line, and a Mickey Mouse toy. Each item collected helped make our coast and ocean safer for everyone, including wildlife. The activity was supported by a donation from SAMCAR's Community Engagement Fund.
