Dear Champion
Baseball games, the smell of hot dogs and boiled peanuts; the feel of fresh green grass beneath your bare feet; cannon balls and the cries of Marco/Polo in the pool; dancing in the passing by of a summer rain shower; and resting in the grass on a warm summer's night attempting to count all of the stars in the sky...are these memories of your youth?
Carolina Children's Home wants to ensure our 50 plus children and adolescents have a summer full of similar wonderful memories and experiences. To do this, we need your help making their wish a reality.
Please make a gift supporting the Carolina Children's Home Summer Enrichment Fund!
While the Home's staff works diligently to provide fun and FREE activities for our children to participate in during the summer including: campus field days, basketball and volleyball competitions - the Summer Enrichment Fund allows children and adolescents in our care the opportunity to enjoy a few "extra-special" summer rights of passage.
- $1,500 gifts enable a cottage of children to visit Charleston for the day exploring the aquarium, carriage tours, and lunch at the beach;
- $1,000 takes 15 children to visit Carowinds for a day;
- $500 enables multiple outings to cultural arts performances at local theaters such as Workshop, Town, and Trustus Theatre;
- $250 allows 15 children to attend a Columbia BlowFish baseball game while also enjoying hot dogs, drinks, and a candy dessert;
- $150 a cool break, ice skating for 2 hours at Plex Indoor Sports;
- $100 purchases new pool supplies for the children to use while learning how to swim at the campus pool;
- $50 purchases pizza and soda for a "Fun Friday" night for two cottages;
- $25 helps satify "sweet tooths" with a scoop of Baskin Robbins ice cream; and
- In-Kind a gift of hot dogs, chips, cups, napkins, plates, and fruit juice allows our children to have a FREE cook-out on campus.
For 100 years, Carolina Children's Home has provided exceptional services to children and families in crisis through the great generosity of individuals, families and companies within the surrounding communities. With your continued support, the Home will continue to provide care, opportunity and love to the hundreds of South Carolina children and adolescents who pass through our doors annually.
Become a Champion of great summer experiences by supporting the Summer Enrichment Fund at Carolina Children's Home!
Sincerely,
Keith Jones
Executive Director
