Today, we're celebrating an incredible young man with an even bigger heart. π
A huge THANK YOU to Jake Farwell for raising Piggie Smalls and donating the proceeds from the Livingston County 4-H Livestock Auction to The WNY Children's Advocacy Network. Thanks to his hard work, dedication, and generosity, he raised an amazing $1,400 to support children in our community! π·
Jake's gift will help provide extracurricular scholarships through our Play It Forward Fund for children in foster care and kinship placements, giving them the opportunity to participate in sports, music, camps, clubs, and other activities that help kids simply be kids. It will also support completely free, trauma-focused mental health therapy for children impacted by abuse through the Child Advocacy Center of Livingston County. π±
Jake, we are so grateful for your compassion and for choosing to make a difference in the lives of children who need it most. Your kindness will have a lasting impact on so many families.
If you've ever thought about hosting a fundraiser to support WNY CAN, we'd love to hear from you! Whether it's a community event, a fundraiser through your school or club, or another creative idea, we're always excited to partner with people who want to make a difference. Reach out to us. We'd love to talk! π
