CPPA Cares Makes Summer a Little Brighter for the Children at Sarah's House Day Care Program
The drive was to benefit Sarah's House which is a supportive housing program offering emergency shelter and project-based supportive housing with an array of other services for families experiencing homelessness in Anne Arundel County, MD.
Sarah's House day care center has a full schedule planned for the summer, including several field trips and a sleep away camp for the older children.
They had an immediate need for t-shirts for the children attending the field trips. In less than 10 days, a logo was created, and shirts and the decoration of shirts was completed for both the children and the staff. In addition, CPPA collected flip flops, beach towels, water toys, string backpacks, water bottles, lip balm and pillows to complement the planned activities for the children.
"This is our first season sponsoring this program and we not only accomplished our fundraising goals, but raised awareness for such a wonderful cause," said Tiffany Kanak, CPPA Executive Director. "Making children smile is always one of our goals and with the help of Promotional Marketing Supplier & Distributor businesses, we anticipate enhancing and increasing our donations year after year."
"It is with a heart filled thank you that we show our appreciation to those that donated to this project and helped bring smiles to the faces of the children at Sarah's House. We couldn't do it without sponsors as supportive as they are to us," said Cheryl Hokanson, CPPA Cares Committee member.
