Thank you From Children's Chance!

Attn: Board Members

Children's Chance recently received an unsolicited $5,000 donation!

The donation was by way of the Palmetto Thrift Store but given from Golden Rule Optics. Children's Chance is sending a thank you note, but if you would like to write and thank them as well, please feel free to do so. This could be a great relationship for CC!

Updates from Children's Chance

  • Children's Chance held the 2009 Gift Giveaway sponsored by the Tree of Life Synagogue and gave families many holiday presents that members collected. The Tree of Life went above and beyond collecting presents for our families! Children's Chance sent Tree of Life a thank you letter and certificate of appreciation and many families sent them thank you notes as well.
