π½ Hello Earth Friends,
The results of my intergalactic mission are in...
Together, you donated $8,630.07 during my matching campaign, helping generate a total of $17,260.14 for Purple Tree! π
When I first arrived from a distant galaxy, I wasn't sure what to expect. But over the last few months, you've welcomed me, my family, and our very important scientific research projects with open arms. You followed our adventures, shared our posts, visited the MIND cafe, stopped by the Davis Farmers Market, told your friends about Purple Tree, and made donations of every size.
Most importantly, you helped support meaningful, community employment opportunities for people with disabilities in Sacramento and Davis.
My family and I have had so much fun getting to know all of you. We've loved hearing your stories, seeing your comments, and watching so many people rally around Purple Tree's mission. Thanks to your generosity, Purple Tree will be able to continue growing, creating opportunities for people with disabilities, and building a more inclusive community for years to come.
From the bottom of my little green heart, thank you for believing in Purple Tree. π
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have an important report to deliver back to my home planet: Earthlings are pretty amazing.
With extraordinary gratitude,
π½ The Little Green Alien

Weβre excited to share that Purple Tree will be participating in a new 3-part webinar series hosted by the California Employers Association in partnership with SETA : Demystifying Disabilities in the Workplace.
This free webinar series is designed to help employers better understand inclusive hiring, workplace accessibility, and the benefits of employing individuals with disabilities. Purple Tree will be joining an incredible group of partners β including the California Department of Rehabilitation, UC Davis MIND Institute, PRIDE Industries, Meristem , and others β to share real-world examples of inclusive employment in action.
At Purple Tree, we see every day how meaningful, supported employment builds confidence, community, and opportunity. Weβre proud to help showcase what inclusive workplaces can look like and why they matter.
If youβre an employer, HR professional, business owner, educator, or community partner, we encourage you to register. And even if these webinars are not for you personally, sharing them with employers and organizations in your network would help us expand the conversation around inclusive employment and disability inclusion.
We hope youβll join us! π

Little Green Alien π½ recently attempted to measure Purple Tree's total energy outputs with specialized intergalactic instruments. π‘πΆ
At first, the readings were completely normal:
β espresso production
πͺ pastry distribution
π£ customer traffic
β‘ caffeine activity
But then his instruments detected employees encouraging one another, customers patiently supporting the team during busy moments, and people returning again and again because they genuinely care about the mission. That's when the warnings started flashing. Apparently kindness, encouragement, and community support are completely OFF THE CHARTS ππ
Little Green Alien has detected nothing else like this in our universe. π
Every purchase and donation helps support meaningful, community-based employment opportunities for people with disabilities. And thanks to our Little Green Alien, the NEXT $4,000 donated will still be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar through May 31.
