Bloom "A Tea for Hope" June 23, 2012

This past weekend we held our annual Bloom "A Tea for Hope" event and this was truly the place to be. With a beautiful setting, delectable food catered by Greens Market, fabulous live & silent auction items it was a memorable day for all who attended. We cannot thank Dr. Stephen & Ann Endsley enough for opening their home to us. Our guest speaker Olivia Villarreal a former foster child that has advocated for foster youth since the age of 15 spoke to our guests about how their contributions to the youth in our community can make a difference. This year was a big success and we thank everybody who joined us in support of our foster care mentoring program. Through your generosity, we are building a road of hope and possibility for our foster youth.

Residential Treatment & Foster Care Art Show

Sierra Vista's residential treatment and foster care children put on an art show this past week. It was an amazing opportunity for our kids to share their artistic talents with all who came. Not only did the kids pick their best art to show off but they also made cookies and cupcakes for all to enjoy while viewing.

 You could truly recognize the value of the art show when you saw the excitement on each kids face as people congratulated them on the great artwork. The art projects ranged from watercolor, paint, charcoal, mixed media, and crafts. It was easy to see that a lot of these children have a lot of talent and were able to express what they loved through their work.
