Consider hosting a private or corporate event to benefit Gift for a Child. The ways to give are endless and can make a lasting impact on children without families that need academic help, a financial lifeline, recognition of an achievement or birthday memory.
Gift a Difference Party
Teaching a child that it is just as wonderful to give as it is to receive is almost
never easy. But once they understand the concept, the rewards can last a
lifetime for them and the child they give to. Consider hosting a Gift for a
Child charity party. Even if you aren’t a child, it’s a great way to spend time
together with friends or family shopping and then wrapping gifts for children
in need. By hosting a charity party for needy youth, a sense of giving is
instilled in children as well as adults.
Golf for a Child
Gift for
a Child’s first tournament began as fundraiser that included golfers from major
corporations across the country. When we launched this event to help
children in need, older foster youth were paired with golf enthusiasts to
create a connection and life experience for both the foster youth and the
golfer. One of the highlights of the event was the exhibit of children in care
waiting to be adopted and a heart wrenching story of hurts and hope from a
foster youth (now in college) advocating for other children.
We are
planning another event in 2011 and want to talk to golf pros, golf enthusiasts,
amateur golfers and anyone that just wants to play to give a gift of financial
support to help at risk, homeless and abandoned youth.

Community Service Giving
Many schools encourage their students
to get involved in a community service project. Gift for a Child has a
number of worthy projects designed for middle school, teen and college
students to get involved. These youth can earn service hours by simply
being a registration volunteer at an event, putting care packages
together for foster youth, helping at a party for children or raising
money through one of our fund-raising efforts. It’s up to you...whatever
feels comfortable.

Golden Givers
Many seniors and retired individuals have time and skills that would
benefit a child in foster care.
Artistic and Photographic Gifts
We’re looking for artistic types like
photographers, artists, writers, scrap bookers and others to help us
tell the story about children in foster care and those that have
transitioned out of foster care. If you are a photographer, videographer
or writer, please consider donating your time and experience for youth
in care. Give us the gift of your time.
Many of these children find writing
about their experiences in foster care therapeutic and healing, or they
want to save their few pictures in an album or scrap book. There’s a
need for many hands to help the many children.
We have artistic programs called
Picture Adoption, Picture Charity, Picture Day and the Heart Gallery
Southeast that we’d love to speak with you about.
