Hello from Paula
August Honorees ~ Our wonderful Corporate Partners
Service: Summer Camp Success
Save the Date: The Betty Bash is back on October 14
Dear MTF Intern,
Can you believe it's August? Summer camps are winding down and children are gearing up for the excitement of beginning a new school year! Requests for new school clothes are being funded and with new clothes comes more confidence in the classroom.
This month in honor of those that have helped MTF reach 25 years, we celebrate our corporate donors! We highlight our corporate funding partners below. One has been a wonderful funding partner for over 20 years and one on the list found out about us a few years ago from an event flyer on a bathroom wall at a Lake County restaurant!
We are grateful for the dedication of all and are always looking for more corporate partners in Lake County who share in our mission of making a lasting difference in the lives of children. If you know of any or work for one, please introduce them to Mothers Trust Foundation!
