The Great Circle- Springfield, MO

My name is Don Goddard and I own All About Paint in Springfield, MO.  I was contacted about possibly giving some help with a charity painting project by a group of people who all work together for the same company in Springfield, MO.  They said they were wanting to paint some of the rooms in the cottages at The Great Circle so they could help them out.

Well, between the two groups, this project has grown quite substantially.  We are looking at over 40 volunteers jumping in to help us with it!  

But after taking a tour of the facility and hearing some of the stories about how and why some of the kids come to live there and what The Great Circle is trying to do for them, I got to thinking that painting would be nice for them, but these people need money.  They have to cover a yearly budget shortfall and they do this through donations.

We've decided to give people who can't donate time the chance to donate money instead... or both.  These kids deserve everything we can help them with.  They are in their current situations through no fault of their own.  This is a worthy charity, in my opinion.  If you would like more information, you can check out their website at http://greatcircle.org/index.php/about

The money you donate will first go to pay for any materials that don't get donated for this project (as of right now Spectrum Paint in Springfield, MO is going to be donating at least a portion of the materials.  I will update this once we get the total material donation).  After that, all funds will be donated directly to The Great Circle.  I've set the goal at $1000.00, but I would love to see that exceeded by as much as possible.  Thank you in advance for caring!
