A Pledge of Support

The Sunny Hills Services Annual Appeal was sent out this week, and we are very excited to announce that our Board of Directors has pledged $50,000 in support to initiate this year’s fund! This extremely generous commitment by the board is a great kick-off to our campaign, and we hope it will inspire each member of the Sunny Hills community to make their own pledge of support for the vulnerable children we serve every day.

As we come to the end of the calendar year, we face a time when our need for private financial support at the agency is especially great. Long-standing programs like the
Marin Academic Center need your help, as do new projects such as the parenting teen program and LGBTQ initiatives at BAYC. Our brand new programs, like Project PRIDE in Sonoma County, cannot get off the ground without private dollars to help them through their initial start up. And every day, we need your support to provide the treatment, the education, the emergency assistance, the advice, the medical care, the support, the person to talk to – whatever help it is that the young people in our programs need. That is our ongoing pledge of support to the vulnerable children and families that we serve, and we are able to keep that pledge with your help.

Our goal for the Annual Appeal this year is to raise $150,000 in gifts and pledges. This is an ambitious goal, especially in the face of the current economic situation, but we are expecting to reach it through small efforts from a large group of supporters. If each member of our donor community is able to make a pledge and commit to giving just $50.00 this year, we would have our most successful appeal on record! I hope you will consider making a gift or donation today. You can visit us
online, or contact the Development Office at (415) 457-3200 x165 for more information. Every gift, pledge, and commitment helps.

Look for more program details here over the next few weeks, as we highlight some of the existing, expanding, and extraordinary programs and services that are made possible in part through funds from the annual appeal. And as always, thank you for being part of our Sunny Hills community; none of what we do would be possible without the tremendous pledge of commitment and ongoing support that we have from each of you.
