In March of 2008, Star Duck Charities used the remaining funds from the Jeans Drive/Benefit Concert (having already purchased each of the forty residents a pair of jeans) to buy each child a pair of shoes. Thanks again to all who attended, businesses who donated prizes, and Jefferson Animal Hospital. The folks at Shoe Carnival on Hurstbourne Lane in Louisville have agreed to host this event.
Steilberg String Instruments hosted national recording artists the California Guitar Trio for a special presentation/workshop on March 12 and all ticket sales were donated to the up and coming music program at St. Joseph Children's Home. Visit the Steilberg String Instruments website at StringInstruments.com.
In March of 2008, St. Joseph Children's Home program coordinator Joanne Childers informed us that there is a real need for swimwear as trips to the pool are one of the kids' most enjoyed summer time activities. Star Duck Charities committed to filling this need and with the help donations we were able to buy each child a new swimsuit.
Since September of 2007, we've been holding birthday parties for each child at St. Joseph Children's Home in his/her birth month. The birthday parties come complete with a party at Gattiland and a $100 shopping spree to a store of the child's choice and a personalized cake for each child (cakes by Tammy Heck).
These monthly birthday parties are one of our ongoing activities. For more information on what we do, click here.
