A CBanger's Christmas Miracle
Donation protected
Christmas is a time to come together and a time of giving. The 3rd Annual CBanger's Christmas intends to combine these two by bringing together old friends from the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro and creating an avenue for them to help buy each and every fellow attendee food and drinks as they reminisce on their "glory days". In addition, 100% of the excess funds donated will go to a fantastic local charity in need (photographed receipts will be provided). This year's charity is Children's Square, founded in 1882 in Council Bluffs, IA and helping local children ever since. While the event is on Friday, December 21st, the GoFundMe will be running through Christmas, with the actual donation given on the morning of December 26th.
Description per Facebook Page:
“Children’s Square U.S.A. was founded by Rev. and Mrs. J.G. Lemen on December 23, 1882, and incorporated March 16, 1883. We serve an average of 1200 children and families in one of our care, education, and/or treatment services. Family foster care in both Southwest Iowa and the Omaha metropolitan community remain important services. Aftercare services and supports for older teens aging out of foster care ensure successful transitions. Emergency services, including short term shelter care for children, are critical at the time of a crisis. We continue to grow our early childhood education programs and expand our outpatient therapy services.
Our Mission: To teach each child, every day, the values and life skills essential to a successful life- One full of caring, contribution and commitment-
It is our belief that children are this nation’s most valuable resource and their families are the most important factor in their development. We recognize the unique importance of each child and our philosophy and programs develop individual abilities and talents, building in each:
The Vision to See… And the value of setting an ideal for which to reach;
The Courage to Try… And the value of accepting each obstacle as a challenge to meet; and
The Will to Succeed… And the value of making the commitment to persevere.”
