Foster Love – Together We Rise Attends BrandSource Conference 2021
Attendees Champion Behind BrandSource to Give Back
Thanks to BrandSource vendors including Beko, Electrolux, GE Appliances, Miele, Samsung, Serta Simmons, Tempur Sealy, and Whirlpool we raffled off a brand-new Jeep Wrangler.
The generosity continued when GE presented us with a check for $10,000. In addition, members showed support through apparel purchases at our booth.
Through these fundraisers we were able to raise over $160,000, all to support our programs and the youth we serve. In attendance was a recipient of our Family Fellowship Program- a scholarship program aimed at providing wrap-around services to aged-out foster youth seeking to pursue higher education.
Since the inception of our partnership, BrandSource has been an advocate in supporting older youth who age out of the foster care system. 20% of youth who leave the system will become homeless within the first year of exiting. It was incredibly meaningful to have one of our students there as a testament to the type of support BrandSource can provide.
In Conclusion
In conclusion, we’d like to thank BrandSource for partnering with Foster Love – Together We Rise. Your generosity and commitment to supporting youth in foster care help propel our mission forward. We are excited to continue this partnership and work alongside all BrandSource members to create meaningful impacts in their local communities.
We are also grateful for the BrandSource Scholars program, which empowers foster youth through education in vocational work, paving the way for their future success.
