Can $15.00 Really Make a Difference?

Did you know that it costs Deschutes Children’s Foundation $15.00 for every child and parent who comes to one of our four nonprofit community centers to receive services?

So what does this cost entail?

It provides:

• Office and classroom space for 26 nonprofit agencies to provide services
• Facility management to ensure the community centers are safe and clean
• Kitchen space to provide hot, healthy meals for children and families

So here’s the challenge – if every one of our followers on Twitter, fans on Facebook, and e-newsletter subscribers were to make a $15.00 donation, we will meet our 2011 fundraising goal of $10,000.00.

Here’s how you can make a difference in a child’s life:

• Donate online at www.deschuteschildrensfoundation.org/donations

• Mail your gift to:

Deschutes Children’s Foundation

1010 NW 14th Street

Bend, OR 97701

(Must be postmarked by December 31, 2011 for 2011 tax deduction)

• Call 541-388-3101 to make a donation using your credit card

Thank you from all of us at Deschutes Children’s Foundation for supporting the work of so many!

 

Save the Date!

It seems like it was just yesterday that DCF(‘s awesome) volunteers and staff were preparing the Riverhouse Hotel and Convention Center for the 19th Annual Art & Wine Auction. Over 320 fantastic supporters of DCF mission and services contributed to making the auction a real success!

Well, go ahead and mark your calendars folks because the Art & Wine Auction is turning 20 this year, and you are all invited to help us celebrate on Saturday, May 5, 2012 at the Riverhouse Convention Center!

Over the next month we will keep you posted on the preliminary details including who the Signature Artist will be and how you can contribute to making the 20th Annual Art & Wine Auction a smashing success!

In the mean time, are there artists, wineries, or packages that you would like to see at the auction this year? Let us know! This is your event after all.
