Gift of Adoption Chapters are Raising Funds to Help Children In-Need

Gift of Adoption Fund issues grants that provide the final funding necessary for families to complete the adoption process. These grants provide more parentless children with the opportunity to enter loving, caring homes.

Local chapters represent Gift of Adoption’s on-the-ground presence. We rely on our chapter boards to raise funds and spread the word about the work we’re accomplishing on behalf of children in-need.

Our local chapter members work hard to host a series of exciting events throughout the year. These events both fund grants and share Gift of Adoption’s story with our chapters’ communities. A number of local Gift of Adoption chapters hosted inspiring events over the past few weeks. We’re always thrilled to see the creative ways that our chapter boards raise money and connect with their communities for Gift of Adoption.

All the funds raised by Gift of Adoption chapter events support grants issued in that state or region. These events are key to our ability to provide parentless children with the safe, nurturing environments they need to thrive and succeed.

This is a round-up of a few recent events conducted by Gift of Adoption chapters across the country. In future blog posts, we’ll be featuring both past and upcoming events from chapters throughout the United States.

Texas Wins Big

Gift of Adoption’s Texas Chapter hosted two late-summer events that generated both attention and donations.

On September 2nd, our Texas chapter hosted its First Annual Waxahachie Triathlon. Gift of Adoption Texas Chapter took the event over from a previous organizer.

“This was a new adventure, as we had no experience with triathlons,” says Adam Pfeil, a member of Gift of Adoption’s Texas Chapter board. “We started by talking with the previous race organizers and they gave us all the items and details we needed to create a project plan. From there, we solicited board members to create a committee for the race.”

More than 115 racers participated in a variety of racing events. Gift of Adoption’s Texas Chapter raised more than $7,000 and generated increased community interest in Gift of Adoption’s cause.

Gift of Adoption — Texas Chapter hosted its Fifth Annual Softball Tournament

Gift of Adoption’s Texas Chapter hosted another sports-themed even in September, as well. On September 14th, the chapter hosted its Fifth Annual Softball Tournament, which raised $7,000 on behalf of the organization.
