Adopt a Family or a Child for the Holidays

As you may know, I sit on the board of a very special place -- Tennyson Center for Children (www.childabuse.org)-- and GroundFloor Media has been very involved with this wonderful organization for years. The Home was founded in 1904 as an orphanage, and today we treat abused, neglected, and at-risk children ages 5-18. We serve 600+ children and 1500+ family members each year.

I know many of you look for ways to support those who are less fortunate during the holiday season. If you would like to adopt a family or some of the kids who live in the cottages, Tennyson Center supports those that are in desperate need of holiday gifts for their children. Families are asked to create wish lists containing items ranging from gifts for their children to essentials such as food certificates, toiletries and linens. Donors then deliver those items to the TCC campus after which therapists and case workers distribute the items to the families they work with so closely. They have 70 families left to adopt this holiday season. The gift requests range from $150-$400 per family, with an average of $225 per family for all of their holiday gifts.

If you or your company is interested in adopting a family, either let me know ASAP or call Tricia Muniz at 720-855-3358 or tricia.muniz@tennysoncenter.org.

I hope you will consider making this a Holiday to remember for a family in need.
