Meet the Perfetts...

From the outside Fran and Sherri Perfett look like any other family on your block.  Married for 17 years, Sherri is active raising two teenage boys and volunteering many hours at their church and school.  Fran, a controller with an area company, loves to golf and do yard work.  In the middle of teenage schedules, church activities, school activities and normal household duties may be a foster baby placed in their care by Genesis.  This family is Genesis' one and only foster family.

The event was emceed by perennial favorite LaMont Jones. 200 guests enjoyed a lovely luncheon and helped set a record for basket raffle participation. Thank you to our two person committee, Katherine Basile and Andrea Contes for organizing this event for the second straight year!
The next fashion show is scheduled for fall of 2017.

Tee it Up 
The 29th Annual "Tee it Up for Genesis" Golf Outing, Dinner and Basket Raffle took place on May 13th, 2016 at Birdsfoot Golf Club. The rain held off just in time for 144 golfers to enjoy the beautiful, unique course. It was a fun day concluding with dinner and announcement of basket raffle winners. The "Tee it Up' planning committee spent months organizing and planning every minute of the day.  From the tee signs to the basket raffle items and all of the details in between.  Thank you to the committee and everyone who attended.  
The next "Tee it Up" event is scheduled for May 19th, 2017. 
Thank you to everyone who attended our fundraising events!
How are your donation dollars used?

For the first time, Genesis has developed a Port Authority bus advertising campaign!  The posters are located on 30 buses on the  Collier, Ross and East Liberty routes. Ads are located in the large area directly behind the driver and highlight our adoption services. Thank  you to everyone who donates to Genesis, enabling us to expand our outreach.  It is our hope that we will reach more young women who have questions about or are considering placing their child for adoption.  If you have questions about the adoption process call the Adoption Center at 412.766.5212.
Because of the generosity of you, our donors and volunteers, 
for 43 years we have brought hope and help to 
thousands of women and children in need.
The Learning Centers
Days of Giving
Change for Life

During the summer months, 235 new and repeating students enrolled in 859 classes in Bellevue (412.761.1845). 233 students enrolled at the Washington location (724.225.6701). Summer, historically has lower attendance, this year is certainly the exception! If you or someone you know would like to take birthing and parenting classes, free of charge call one of our centers. Thank you to everyone who made Washington County Community Foundation and The Pittsburgh Foundations' Days of Giving a success.  These "Days of Giving" not only provide much needed funding but they also make the general public aware of Genesis and our mission. Our loyal social media fans helped out by sharing our post on the giving days.  Thanks! 
October is  Respect Life month!  Many churches are celebrating by raising awareness through our "Baby Bottle" campaign. Baby bottles are handed out and families can donate and collect change for our programs.  It's an easy and effective  way to support Genesis. Interested  in participating and growing our cause?
