Our charity
Emily Mandrup, ECM’s Founder, proudly serves as the Chair of the Board and Cars & Cocktails Chair.
"On my drive to the center, it struck me that children just a few miles away wouldn’t have access to the same opportunities. That realization led me to start volunteering, and now I have the privilege of serving on the Board.

Bishop Manor Spoke Center Reopening
Bishop Manor Renovation Grand Opening
We are proud to have collaborated with KidWorks to support the recent renovation and grand reopening of their Bishop Manor Spoke Center in Santa Ana. Alongside a dedicated network of local partners, our team gladly donated our time, skills, and resources to transform this facility into a safe, modern haven for K-12 students.
The newly reimagined center features updated classroom technology and expanded spaces designed to help local youth learn, lead, and thrive. Investing in the next generation of community leaders is at the heart of what we do, and we are honored to stand with KidWorks.
Check out this behind-the-scenes look at our work with KidWorks and see why the reopening of the Bishop Manor Spoke Center is so vital for local families. We’re proud to use our project management expertise to build a foundation where students can lead, learn, and grow for years to come.
