Follow on Google News | “LEAP Foundation DC Sending Gifts and Hope to the Youth of D.C.”On Wednesday, December 17th, LEAP Foundation DC again supported Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton’s Annual Capitol Hill Children’s Christmas Party for disadvantaged D.C. youth.
By: LEAP Foundation DC This year’s event marked the Congresswoman’ “When we first had the opportunity to contribute to this cause, we immediately knew that it would be one that we would want to be involved with year after year,” said LEAP Foundation DC Chairman, Dr. Lawrence. “The holidays are meant to be a magical and memorable time for children, and for so many, that is not the reality. Our goal each year is to reach out to the children and families that need it most and do all that we can to make the holidays a little bit brighter.” The families that are selected for this program each year not only receive toys, but also receive clothing, gift cards, computers/educational devices, and other much needed items. All of the families and items given to the children this year were blessed by Reverend Dr. George E. Holmes, who currently serves as a member of President Barack Obama’s National African-American Clergy Leadership Working Group and as Chaplain of the District of Columbia. An overwhelming increase in donations and support from two other key groups, the Nando Group Corporation, as well as the Keys for the Homeless Organization, contributed to the overall success of the event. “With so many different organizations and influential leaders working together to make this event successful each year, we only continue to see our efforts strengthened,” To learn more about the LEAP Foundation DC, visit http://www.leapfoundationdc.org and for a 4-minute highlights video of this occasion, please visit http://vimeo.com/ End
