Funds raised during this event will go to Centerstone's Foundation, which is the philanthropic arm of Centerstone and supports the work of Centerstone, directly impacting clients and their families, advancing research and service innovation. In addition to securing philanthropic resources, the Foundation is charged with providing effective stewardship of endowments, including investment and disbursements. The Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of lives of individuals and families who come to Centerstone for care.
“Funds raised through this and other giving at Centerstone directly supports our clients’ needs,” said Jocelyn Popit, Director of Advancement at Centerstone. “We receive requests for simple, tangible items that represent support for our clients, or gifts that build skills towards long-term recovery. Some of the recent requests that we’ve been able to provide include weighted blankets, hygiene products, one-time assistance with electricity bills, day-camp tuition, and Tae Kwon Do lessons.”
The fundraising event at Panera will be held on Giving Tuesday, the first Tuesday following Thanksgiving where people are encouraged to transform their communities through charitable giving.
“With your help on Giving Tuesday, and every day throughout the year, we are delivering care that changes people’s lives,” Popit said.
