Dawn Hancock, founder of Firebelly Foundation, was interviewed on Outside the Loop Radio about Reason to Give last December. Host Mike Stephen contacted Dawn after coming across ReasontoGive.com. He was intrigued by the way Reason to Give makes donating simple and personal.
Listen to the full podcast here. Dawn’s interview starts about three-fourths of the way through the show.
What a beautiful day it was when we had our local ABC 7 television crew run around with us for hours. We are so thankful to them and those who made an immediate donation in response to their 2 minute segment. If you missed it or just want to see it again and again, here’s the link.
On December 12, 2009, Reason to Give held a holiday party for families that are currently in program as well as families that were involved with the program within years past. EP Theater generously donated their facility for the event. Photographers Kyle LaMere and Brendan Shanley volunteered their services to take family portraits. Everyone received free coats complements of Cafe Barista. Special thanks to Mary Morelli for her generous contribution to the free store. Volunteers included: Ana Rosales, Blake Valenta, Kevin Smith, Omar Vargas and Greg Medic. The event was coordinated by Shannon Medic. The event was filmed by Grant Grieshaber.
