Strike an Unforgettable Match

October 29, 2014 at 01:51pm. Views: 100

The Unforgettables Foundation (TUF) has helped hundreds of families in what may be the worst time of their life: the death of a child. One of the special events that's held every year is the Lights for Little Lives Memorial Walk on Dec. 31, New Year's Eve. New Year's often means a new beginning, and even though a new beginning may occur, a child's life will never be forgotten. This event begins at 3:30 p.m. where families come out to remember their little ones, then return home at approximately 8 p.m. to enjoy the comfort of family and friends as they ring in the new year. This particular year, a fire is being lit with a special match. That match is your donation! For every dollar donated, a dollar will be matched. This match is being made by a special donor couple and supporter of the Unforgettables organization, who generously offered a year-end gift matching of $15,000. They themselves have endured the loss of a child and empathize with the sorrow, depression and even divorce, which so often doubles the disaster of a family experiencing a child's death. Make November and December a time to count your blessings and make your gift count twice as much with this unforgettable "match." Please talk it over with your family, friends, colleagues and neighbors, and join TUF for the annual Lights for Little Lives Memorial Walk on Dec. 31 as TUF celebrates and commemorates the children who have left us this year and in the past. Partner with us as we Strike the Match to bring a bigger flame and a much better life for a family struggling to stay alive!
