Merry Christmas, BWAP friends!

Merry Christmas to all of our Brunch With A Purpose friends! Exciting news! We are STILL adding children! We are up to 56 right now- the most ever! Several caseworkers are taking teen clients out shopping for much-needed clothes after Christmas so check the website as we go! Also, we've added several families that are up on the website now! Thank you so much for your big hearts and amazing generosity! With LOVE! Susan

Brunch Was A Success thanks to YOU!

Thank you so much to every single one of you who participated in Brunch With A Purpose Round 4! It was a huge jam-packed event.  We think at least 100 people were there (95 who rsvp'd yes and many more who came)! The Capitol Hill Mansion was decked out and beautiful, the food was delicious, and the guests were a blast! Thank you to all of you who donated- anything from your time, your help in loading up gifts, your organization in getting gifts wrapped, your financial contribution, your shopping skills, and the list goes on and on... We are scurrying around trying to fill in the gaps of children who didn't get everything they asked for and have raised enough money to add more children! Stay tuned to the website over the next couple of weeks to see how many families we can add! I am so grateful for your love, support, and huge hearts for these families!

More Children Coming Soon- I promise!

Hello there!  In typical Stocks Family style, we spent all day at the emergency vet on Monday and I'm playing big-time catch up and still waiting on forms from the families!  Thanks to all of you who've volunteered!  We have lots of volunteers lined up.  Please encourage your friends and family to choose a gift for a child because we only have a few pledged gifts!  Thank you so much!  Susan

2 Weeks from Today- Brunch With A Purpose Round 4

We're gearing up for our 4th year of Brunch With A Purpose!  So far, there are 12 children on our website and I anticipate having another 12 up by Tuesday.  Our cash link is up and Beanstalk is accepting donations for us. We received our first donation today! Another new feature this year is our "Volunteer" button on the website. We need lots of help this year so please check it out and see if there's anything you'd like to help us with. And we're looking for restaurants to sponsor us by donating food so please ask your favorite restaurants if they'd like to help! Thanks so much for your continued support of Brunch With A Purpose! Looking forward to December 11 at 11am at the Capitol Hill Mansion!

1 week from today! Please choose your gift!

Hello again-

Thank you so much to everyone who's rsvp'd, pledged to bring a gift, gotten your coworkers involved, etc.  I received a request today to sponsor 7 more children!!!  I don't feel like I can add them to the list until our other 35 children are taken care of.  Please please please pick which gift you'd like to get and click "fulfill a need" so I can get them crossed off the list.  The sooner I can do this, the sooner I can determine if we can sponsor 7 more! Thank you so much and I'm looking forward to next weekend!

Susan
