Will Santa Find Me? @ Santacon

 

 

 

Team BRL is happy to say that amongst all the fun had (there was a LOT) at the BRL Rock'n The Ave Santacon on Saturday a good amount of money was raised by our Santas for the "Will Santa Find Me? Foundation."

 

A special thanks goes out to Dom DiScala for running the Santa ping pong toss and his mother Lynn DiScala for painting faces during the event with all of their proceeds going to the foundation.

 

The“Will Santa Find Me?” Foundation™, a non-profit (501)(c)(3), consists of two divisions; “Will Santa Find Me?” National (holiday gift giving) and Hopes & Dreams International (child sex trafficking). They reach out to suffering children who are battling each and every day of their lives. These children have been robbed of their childhoods and their voices unheard.  Their mission is to keep “Hopes and Dreams” alive through the “miracle” of a compassionate and loving Santa. This loving Santa will find children throughout the world, any time of year, whatever their dream may be.

If you didn't have a chance to donate on Saturday and would like to, or you would like to learn more about this great foundation please visit their website HERE.

The Darien Times wrote a special piece last week on Black Rock Life's SWIM Across the Sound team member Elizabeth Wenzel.  The piece tells of a car crash Wenzel was in in 2009 that required her to have spinal surgery and then focuses on her road to recovery, especially how swimming has helped her through the process. 

The full article can be viewed on the Darien Times website HERE

To Date Team Black Rock Life has raised $8,730.  If you would like to contribute
