Supporting Treehouse for Kids

Treehouse was founded in 1988 by DSHS social workers who saw the deprivation often faced by children in foster care.  They held bake sales and car washes so they could provide the little things needed to help children feel loved and capable. These small efforts have blossomed.  With the support of tens of thousands of generous donors and many caring and committed partners across our community, Treehouse provides clothes, toys, and school supplies at our Wearhouse, and access to critical extracurricular activities and community resources through our Little Wishes program – bringing support to thousands of children in foster care each year. 

Today, Treehouse is embarking on our most important work yet: helping foster youth in King County graduate high school at the same rate as their peers with a plan for their future.  Treehouse’s goal addresses the alarmingly high dropout rate among high school students in foster care.  Building on a quarter century of practice and the best research available, Treehouse is addressing this problem in an efficient, scalable, and replicable manner.  Treehouse is uniquely committed to partnering with school systems, government agencies, caregivers, social workers, and funders to change the trajectory of kids in foster care by helping them make it to graduation day and beyond.

Seattle Children’s Hospital

For more than 100 years, Seattle Children’s Hospital has specialized in meeting the unique physical, emotional and developmental needs of children from infancy through young adulthood. Through the collaboration of physicians in nearly 60 pediatric subspecialties, they provide inpatient, outpatient, diagnostic, surgical, rehabilitative, behavioral, emergency and outreach services – regardless of a family’s ability to pay.

Seattle Children’s was initially founded and run by a group of philanthropic women more than 100 years ago. Their generous spirit can be seen today in the support of thousands of donors and guild members, and it’s their support that ultimately makes it possible for their care and research teams to come together – raising funds to ultimately create better futures for their patients.

Seattle Children’s fights relentlessly to make sure there’s no such thing as “out of options” and to make sure children who “didn't have a chance” can have the childhoods they deserve. SCH provides hope, care, and cures to help every child live the healthiest and most fulfilling life possible.

Wounded Warrior Project

Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) began in 2003 as a small, grassroots effort providing simple care and comfort items to the hospital bedsides of the first wounded service members returning home from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. As their post-service needs evolved, so have the programs and services. Today, through WWP’s direct programs in mental health, career counseling, and long-term rehabilitative care, along with the advocacy efforts, they improve the lives of millions of warriors and their families.

This effort requires the passion and commitment of friends, supporters, and like-minded organizations that enable WWP to fulfill their mission. With their collaboration and support, WWP strives to ensure that when those who serve come home, they’re afforded every opportunity to be as successful as a civilian as they were in the military.

Golf

 

If you are looking for a way to socialize, exercise and network while also having a superior physical and mental challenge, nothing beats golf! It'a a sport where, although it’s competitive, you are more competing with yourself and trying to better your own personal game. It’s always fun and I have lots of laughs getting out there.
