(Vero Beach, FL) “Growing Healthy Kids” was the first recipient of a donation raised through the membership of Chicks with Checks Vero Beach. Nancy Heinrich, Executive Director, received the check for $850 at Blue Ribbon Boarding and Grooming, 1525 10th Ave. Vero Beach, where the Party with a Purpose was hosted in January.
Growing Healthy Kids is a local 501(c)(3)organization that is committed to the prevention of childhood obesity and the diseases that accompany it, by planting raised bed gardens, holding kids cooking classes, outdoor activities and parenting workshops. Volunteers, mentors and additional funding are needed to help this organization achieve it full impact.
Martin Lavander, owner of Blue Ribbon Boarding and Grooming, is a community-spirited leader, who recently and successfully brought the challenges of our county’s K-9 units to light with Yappy Hour2. Martin liked the idea of raising funds for Growing Healthy Kids and offered his facility for the Party.
Chicks with Checks raises funds and awareness for our local non-profits at a monthly Party with a Purpose. The Parties are casual and conversational and women are making real connections with other women; becoming friends, collaborators and colleagues. The monthly beneficiary really gets a chance to tell the members and Party attendees what they are doing to uplift the community, what they need next and how we can help.
