Adoption and multicultural support

Picture this--220 men and women made meals in advance, set out clothes in little piles, arranged rides to practices, and said goodbye to children (pulled them off their legs in some cases). They set aside life for a weekend to come together, as a couple, as a community, thanks to The Sparrow Fund.

 

The Sparrow Fund is a nonprofit based in the Philadelphia suburbs whose mission is to support foster and adoptive families through grants and training opportunities. They also care for waiting children across the world and those who care for them day in and day out by taking teams into an orphanage in central China annually. At Together Called 2015, couples were encouraged as parents to children who have experienced hard things, as couples who need each other to work as a unified team, and as individuals who are called to a big task.

 

Over 100 businesses got to be a part of this big event through donations to 11 incredible raffles, overflowing with goodies to raise money for the work and bless the socks off whoever won them. We were one of those businesses, donating our flag people for the raffled. Through these raffles, The Sparrow Fund raised well over $3,000 to continue their work in the adoption community, and we're excited that we were able to contribute to that in a small but significant way!
