Several years ago I became acquainted with the Providence Family Support Center on the North Side of Pittsburgh, established by the Sisters of Divine Providence. It provides family support programs such as childcare for infants, preschool, before and after school programs, etc. The Center truly cares about the welfare of children. For example, it is open for teacher in-service days so parents (usually living below the poverty line) can go to work and know their children are safe and supervised.
It is a special place in our area, a small community/family based organization serving needy families within our community. It is not a well-known center but its services are critical and desperately needed to support about 300 families. In this economy with funding cutbacks, finding financial support for their work is becoming harder and harder.
This year I have agreed to chair their major fundraiser, “The Backyard Barbeque,” on June 15, 2012 at the John Heinz History Center. Since I am overseeing the event this year, I would like make sure they maximize the return on this fundraiser so all the children and their families may be covered. Therefore, I am reaching out to all of my contacts.
There are several ways to participate and possibly one or more options will work for you:
|
$ Varies |
|
$85 per person or $650 per table for 8 |
|
$25 to $200 |
|
$20 |
For more information please call 412-766-3860 or visit Providence Connections online.
Thanks for taking the time to read this note and hopefully together we can help make a difference in the lives of these families.
Sincerely,
Ken Cuccinelli, Chairman, CEO
