Inspire A Family This Year!
Much of the ‘magic’ of the holidays come with price tags that children should not have to understand, but the loving adults in their lives understand all too well. YOU can provide holiday magic for a Beech Acres Parenting Center client this holiday season. YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO INSPIRE A FAMILY WITH KINDNESS! Not all families are prepared to celebrate this year. Can YOU help us inspire a family? This year we’re asking you to help provide peace of mind for an under-resourced family with a generous gift to our Inspire a Family program. This holiday season, help inspire a family! Our annual holiday fundraiser provides gift cards for families so parents and caregivers can provide a happier holiday for their children. Santa’s helpers take your generous cash donations and transform them to gift cards for Beech Acres families. Many of these caregivers work hard all year to make themselves better parents to their children, grandchildren, and foster children. Let’s help them have a joyous holiday by removing some of the financial burdens from their plates. Your donation goes directly to families in your community who need it most! Our goal this year is to provide joy and peace of mind for 50 families. Will you consider a donation of $100 or more today so that we can reach our goal of raising just $5,000 by December 1st? Your gift will help families provide a fun, peaceful, and memorable holiday this year. Your generous gift of $100 or more will certainly endure a brighter holiday for a family who needs your help this year. Won’t you help remove the stress of holiday shopping for one or more of these families? Thank you for your generous spirit. On behalf of the families you’ve helped this year, please accept my warmest and most sincere gratitude.

Celebrate Moms This Mother’s Day With A Gift To Beech Acres Parenting Center
Celebrate this Mother’s Day by honoring the special “mom” in your life! There are many important women in a child’s life. But none are more important than “mom.” Birth mothers, aunts, sisters, a special mentor or teacher, foster care parents, grandmothers, and other kinship caregivers. A “mom” can be any woman who provides a child with love, protection, and guidance. This Mother’s Day, honor your mom or another special “mom” in your life while also providing essential support to mothers in your community with a gift to Beech Acres Parenting Center. Because of friends like you, mothers of all types are receiving the Beech Acres tools and resources they need to provide loving care to the most vulnerable children in our community. Make a gift today in honor of a special mom in your life and we’ll send your honoree a message of gratitude. When you make your gift, we’ll also send a note of encouragement to a kinship caregiver or foster care mom thanking them for providing care to a special child. On behalf of moms, grandmas, aunts, sisters, and other special women raising kids in our community, thank you for your support!
National Parents’ Day is NEXT SUNDAY!
Parenting is challenging. Parents told us so in a recent survey. But it’s also very rewarding. They told us that too. July 22nd is National Parents’ Day. This year we’re raising money to help support our mission of inspiring and equipping today’s parents, families, and communities to raise capable, caring, contributing children. Do you know another parent that’s doing a great job? Give them a “high five” on Facebook or Twitter and let them know you helped another parent be awesome by donating $5 to Beech Acres Parenting Center. If every parent shared with five other parents we would be even closer to our vision of a world where all children are nurtured to discover, cultivate and apply their natural gifts. Share this on Facebook or Twitter: “High five! You’re doing a great job as a parent! I gave $5 to Beech Acres Parenting Center so they can help other parents be awesome just like you! Please give 5 other moms and dads a “high five” by sharing this post and letting them know you appreciate them!”
