As many of you know, Dave & I are passionate board members for Kids In The Middle (KITM) which supports families going through divorce. Today kicks off our 24 hour annual Giving 4 Kids campaign and we are asking for your support. KITM serves 2,000+ children and families through their counseling services. Today we are hoping to gain additional support for our programs. To learn more about KITM, visit the website: https://lnkd.in/gC8WQRKK. We are seeking your financial donation to provide much needed mental health services for children experiencing the trauma of divorce and separation. All donations are DOUBLED for the next 24 hours thanks to our matching donors! That means if you donate $5 it turns into $10, $100 turns into $200- you get it. No gift is too small and donations are tax-deductible. In Missouri, tax credits are 50% monetary back in the form of a MO state tax credit. This is an ALL or nothing campaign, which means that we must raise the full $100,000 by Thursday May 2 at 2pm CST. As a board, we also like to make this a challenge (of course 😊) so please indicate Team Teal when making a donation to indicate the team we represent. To make a donation: https://lnkd.in/g6ezkAcb We truly appreciate your support.

Our 2024 Christmas campaign is my final collaboration with Foyer Design. You never really think how much work goes into a campaign like this, and ultimately, is the time spent on it, worth the money raised? 💛 With this one we wanted donors to feel they were contributing towards something specific, so we narrowed it down to young people (the back and forth of creating a young person who is everyone and no one at the same time was a feat in itself) and specific items they might need (need and not want, even though everyone should be allowed something fun at Christmas). 💙 We wanted the message to be uplifting, allowing donors to feel pride in their contribution, but we also wanted people to donate because they can and want to, not because they have to. I think that is truly Aberdeen Foyer's Advantaged Thinking legacy in action. 💚 Nobody should need to prove their worth and value to have their basic necessities met, but tying the campaign to Aberdeen Foyer's mission was important for clarity and notoriety - Donate today to fuel their potential tomorrow. Quite chuffed with that one. 🧡 What do you think - did we get it right?

We Have An Urgent Need For Our Angel Food Assistance Fund - Please Donate One of our most important programs is our Angel Food Assistance Fund. This fund provides immediate assistance for families struggling with food insecurity. We currently have 13 applications with emergency food needs, but our Angel Food Assistance Fund is running low. We need to raise $2,000 today in order to meet the critical needs of these 13 families and their children to ensure they don't go to bed hungry tonight. Donate today, and a child eats tonight. Will you please make a donation of $25 or more tonight to help us reach our goal? If just 1% of the people who see this message today make a tax-deductible donation, it will make a huge difference in this lives of these families.

Strike Out T1D with Us This Weekend! Get ready to roll with purpose! This Sunday, November 10th, Leyton and I are hitting the lanes at Victory Bowl in Mankato for the fourth annual Strike Out T1D event. We’re excited to be bowling to raise funds for Camp Sweetlife, an incredible nonprofit camp that supports kids with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in living full, empowered lives. Why Camp Sweetlife? Camp Sweetlife isn’t just a camp—it’s a life-changing experience. It’s a place where kids with T1D get to be kids, enjoying all the classic camp adventures, surrounded by counselors and medical staff who truly understand what they're going through. Our goal is to eventually make this camp free for any T1D kid, ensuring no child misses out on this experience due to financial reasons. Here’s How You Can Help! You can support our team in a few ways: Pledge Per Strike: Donate per strike our team throws (like $0.50 per strike). Example: $0.50 x 50 strikes = $25. Pledge with a Cap: Donate per strike but with a max amount, like $0.50 per strike up to a $20 donation. Flat Donation: Keep it easy and give a set amount for the event! To contribute, you can donate directly to Camp Sweetlife here https://lnkd.in/gVmM3fZU or Venmo me, and I’ll make sure it reaches them. or, like and share this post to make sure it reaches as many people as possible. Together, let’s show kids with T1D that nothing can hold them back!

*Beryl Update from Southeast Texas Food Bank based in Beaumont, Texas*: "Thankfully we do not have any damage at the Southeast Texas Food Bank and are fully operational. However, some of our neighbors in our northern counties have suffered extensive damage and some are displaced from their homes. We are currently assessing the needs of the community but we need your help." Southeast Texas Food Bank- Ending Hunger. Feeding Hope. Donate to help those hungry in Southeast Texas (Serving 8 County Region): https://lnkd.in/euEQPJn Did you know a $10 donation can help provide up to 30 meals for desperate people in your community? By making a donation, you’re helping to ensure that hungry children in Southeast Texas are adequately nourished, that none of our senior citizens are forced to chose between medicine and food, and that every family facing a crisis can at least have the assurance of food on the table. #setxfoodbank #jaspercountytexas #hardincountytexas #jeffersoncountytexas #BerylDisasterRecovery #newtoncountytexas #polkcountytexas #organecountytexas #sabinecountytexas #tylercountytexas

And in this picture is the custodian of delivering this years Hamper Scamper Daniel Chun. It’s a huge effort, and responsibility, so please do dig deep and do what you can. Food: Festuve 5 is a real priority. A festive dessert – from Christmas cake to Christmas pud, Yule be adding a sweet treat to your shopping basket. Tasty biscuits or mince pies – whether you are team mince pies or team choccy biscuits, these little treats are the perfect way to celebrate the festive season. Chocolates – December may be the only time of year when chocolate for breakfast is acceptable! Share your favourites and add a box to your shopping trolley! Savoury snacks – sometimes it’s nice to break up the sweetness with something savoury. Now where did we put that tube of Pringles…? Hot drinks – like a hug in a mug, you can’t go wrong with a warming cup of hot chocolate, coffee or fancy tea.

This is why we do what we do. Every donation makes stories like this possible, and right now, your impact can go even further. The Abell-Hanger Foundation is matching all donations up to $100,000. That means every dollar you give is doubled, providing hope and relief to families in need. Give today and help us fight hunger—link below. https://lnkd.in/gjPTRrPc
