Donation will help send adopted and foster kids to fun, enriching activities
WAUKESHA, Wis. - WisconsinEagle -- A $5,000 grant from the Catholic Community Foundation will help Chosen Inc. of Wisconsin ("Chosen") provide scholarships to adopted and foster children for therapeutic activities through Chosen's EEE (Equip. Engage. Encourage.) program.
The EEE initiative promotes development and bonding for children in foster and adoptive families. These activities (camps, sports, music/art lessons and sensory experiences) can be expensive, especially when multiple siblings or kids with special needs are participating.
"We are tremendously appreciative of the support that Catholic Community Foundation has provided Chosen," said Karen Schlindwein, Board President for Chosen. "Many families cannot afford to send their children to activities or sensory experiences that might benefit them tremendously. However, with support of generous partners such as Catholic Community Foundation, these kids can partake and enjoy fuller, healthier lives. This grant will have a tangible, positive impact in the foster and adoptive community."
