When Giving Becomes a Family Tradition

In our recently published 2023 Foundation Impact Report, we spoke with foundation donor Jerry Cooke, whose family has been multi-generation donors. Inspired by his mother Thelma's legacy, Jerry shares insights on his philanthropic endeavors and advice for supporting youth.

Whether a monthly donation, a planned future gift, or an act of volunteerism, your generous gifts make it possible for us to serve children and families as we provide youth and family support, foster care and adoption services, and education and training. Thank you for your generosity!

• dolls (baby & Barbie)
• action figures
• sports balls
• mini over-the-door basketball hoops
• teen coloring books
• Lego sets
