Dear Wender Weis Foundation for Children and Halloween Heroes supporters – Thank you for all of your amazing support of the Wender Weis Foundation for Children (WWFC) over the years. We would not be where we are today without people like you! In light of the recent tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, we at WWFC would like to do something to make a difference in the lives of kids in the South. We are asking for your assistance as well. If you purchase your ticket to Halloween Heroes between September 1 and September 15, we will do one of two things:
If you have already made a donation to Halloween Heroes and would like a portion of your contribution to aid children in the South, please let us know this by October 25, and we will take a portion of your donation and donate it to the American Red Cross on your behalf. In situations like these, there are no words to describe the devastation and loss. But, this is one way that we can all come together to try to reach out and provide some support. Please contact me at awender@wenderweis.org if you are interested in participating. Thank you again for all of your amazing support over the years, and we do hope you will continue to be a part of WWFC and our incredible event, Halloween Heroes. This year's event promises to be the best one ever! With warmest regards,
In July 2005, we will be partnering with Hands on Bay Area for our third annual picnic, where children and their families, who reside in Peninsula battered women's shelters, will have the opportunity to experience a fun outdoor play experience at a local park. This will be a chance for them to feel like they have no problems or worries and just have fun at an outdoor picnic designed especially for them. In December 2005, we will hold our 10th annual holiday party, where over 200 adults and kids, from local battered women's shelters, will be able to have a once-in-a-lifetime, magical holiday experience. For many of these families, it will be their only holiday celebration. We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Hands on Bay Area to bring these opportunity to those who otherwise would not be able to have it. Also, we are thrilled to announce our new Foundation program called The Big Bear Project. We have begun a partnership with a few Bay Area battered women's shelters to ensure that children who reside in the shelter have access to new stuffed animals. We are also raising money so that children from the shelters can make their own special teddy bear at the Basic Brown Bear Factory. Please check out our site over the next few weeks for more information about our new program...and ways that you can participate. In 2005, we will not be holding Holiday Heroes. |
