Thank you to Cuyahoga Falls High School staff, students and everyone who came to support us during our 3 day “Holiday Shop” and Raffle last week!  We really had so much fun; probably too much fun!  Congratulations to the raffle winners and also to the intervention specialists who filled out the applications to get some needed funds for their classrooms.  Gift cards were asked for and awarded from the local businesses:  Lowes, WalMart, Subway and BJ’s.

Thank you for having us and making us feel so welcome!  It was our pleasure!   Thank you to our sponsors who donated items for our baskets:  Big Lots in Stow, Joyce Lillie (Zane’s grandmother), Cheryl Williams, American Testing Techologies, and the Eliadis Family.  We hope to see you again next year!

Have a safe and Happy Holiday season………..

Zane’s Foundation is very pleased to announce the final quarter funds assistance for 2013.  At the end of October, the ZF Board members approved five more requests for different kinds of therapy:  speech, physical, vision and ABA.  Total disbursements were about $7,200.00.  So in the year 2013 the total amount of disbursements given out over $21,200.00.

One last file is still pending due to action needed to be done by the family and this request is also for therapy.  This disbursement will be for another $1,500.00 making the grand total over $22,700.00.

Thank you to our most wonderful and newly named “Family Support Fund” Committee, formerly known as the Grant Committee.  We couldn’t do what we do with you….thank you so much!  We also want to continue to thank our many Sponsors!  Thank you on behalf of the families that we serve!

Thank you to all the families that came to our second annual “Santa Community Party” at Christ Community Chapel in Hudson.  We had so much fun!  We ate cookies….did a picture frame…..saw Santa and got our photo taken……ate a cupcake……got a small filled stocking from Santa…..made some Reindeer food……ate another cookie…..talked with the cute elf named Maddie……had some juice and signed some thank you cards.  We tried to have some salty snack, but we really didn’t have the room for it, but what the heck “it’s Christmas!”  We saw lots of smiling faces and happy people; we did see a few tears but we got through it okay!

Thank you to our sponsors for donating the party:  Dr. Adam Pollock, Dr. Stephen Fabry, Dr. Neil Sundheimer and Dr. Raj Vij.  Thank you to Mrs. Patterson for baking the absolutely wonderful desserts for us.  Thank you so our special volunteers and Committee members who came to help!!!  Thank you to Christ Community Chapel and Kelly for making Santa so comfy!  He was very happy and says he will come back again next year!

The ACME “Cashback Program” started on September 21st, 2013 and ends February 8, 2014.  Please save your receipts for Zane’s Foundation.  We absolutely need them!  You can save a few at a time and mail them in or wait until the end; the most important thing is make sure that you use a registered ACME Card. 

If you do not have an ACME card, no “Cashback” total will appear at the bottom of your receipt!  We hate to see wasted receipts and  we get a some of those!  If you need to have some addressed envelopes to the Foundation, we would be happy to give them to you…..thank you so much!!!
