As 25 Children Settle Into Their Classes This School Year They Will Share Their Summer Camp Memories

Aug. 13, 2015 - PRLog -- Believing that all children deserve to enjoy a summer camp experience that inspires youth on so many levels, from sports, arts, music and nature to life-long friendship-making, Sklar Furnishings made sure that 25 children got that opportunity throughits Chairs-of-Care fundraising program held during its free community ‘fun’ and ‘fund’ raising SunTime, FunTime fest at its 22,000-square-footshowroom.  With support rallied by the generosity of shoppers and event attendees and increased by matching funds from Sklar, the contemporary furnishings leader underwrote scholarships to attend summer camp at Florence Fuller Child Development Centers (FFCDC).

“We so appreciate the ‘longtime giving’ by Sklar Furnishings,” noted FFCDC Executive Director Ellyn Okrent. “Its innovative and fun Chairs-of-Care program ensured that dozens of children had a safe and fun place to enjoy the summer while their parents remain strong in the work force.”

FFCDC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children from economically challenged families with the goal of preparing children for a lifetime commitment to learning and empowering their families to build a brighter future. Through education, employment assistance, and a powerful support system of teachers and staff that truly care, FFCDC believes that every child should have the chance to learn, grow, and experience success in school and life regardless of their ability to pay.

“Since our future will be guided by today’s youth, all of us in business today must take social responsibility to help cultivate our next generation of leaders and workforce,” noted Pat Howard, co-owner of Sklar Furnishings with husband Rick Howard who both work to make a positive difference in Sklar’s immediate community and beyond while being a good steward to the planet in its day-to-day operations and personally, in its team’s personal lives. “The more talent children can hone and opportunities for mentoring, social interaction, relationship-making, exposure to the arts and acquisition of new skills they can have, we are all better for it. Our whole team of design professionals and client services staff at Sklar Furnishings is pleased to once again support the great work, care and nurturing by Florence Fuller Child Development Centers.”
