The Grands hasn't added a story.
Lorcan and I are signed up for an event that we haven’t tried before. We're going Over the Edge to raise money for Easterseals Vermont. Yup, on July 23rd, we'll be in Barre rappelling down 14-stories at North Barre Manor. We're calling our team The Grands because, well, we are!
Just briefly, to let you know about the organization: Easterseals Vermont non-profit organization formed in 1985 and committed to finding family-centered solutions to the challenges some of our Vermont’s parents, children, and youth face. Our work is a collaboration with families and their teams. The purpose is to help families identify and meet their needs through support and coaching. The goal is to guide families and youth to learn and grow together to build a strong future. Some areas addressed through Easterseals Vermont include developing healthy parent/child attachments, mental health care, safety and permanence for young children, and support for youth who find themselves unprepared for the transition to adulthood.
In past years, the generosity of local donors has made it possible to purchase things like Driver's Ed classes, diapers, heating fuel, swimming pool passes, summer camp, car repairs, clothing, to name only a few of the investments made.
Lorcan and I are happy to jump off a 14-story building to help raise funds for Easterseals Vermont because we know that 100% of the dollars we bring in will be invested in services to Vermont youth and families. Our goal is to raise $1,000 each and we genuinely appreciate any amount you feel comfortable contributing. (Your donation is tax deductible.)
We would also be grateful to you for sharing this information (email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) with others who may be interested in helping to support Vermont youth and families through contributions to Easterseals Vermont.
