CFMA - Valley of the Sun

Fortunately, there is a place for homeless families to go where they can get the safe shelter, supportive services, and affordable housing they need to reach their greatest potential. That place is UMOM New Day Centers. UMOM provides a continuum of care for families, giving them the tools and support they need to get back on their feet. This year CFMA pledged to help UMOM by participating in their 7th Annual Walk for Homeless Families. The walk was a fun and inspirational way to raise awareness about family homelessness and raise critical funds for UMOM. A number of VoS members showed up to a walk or made financial contributions to help UMOM. The Team goal was $1,500 -VOS committed to matching those member donations up to $1,500. At the end of the day, the Team raised $3,665!

In 2009, UMOM Women's Auxiliary founded The Walk for Homeless Families to help spread community awareness about family homelessness and raise funds for UMOM. The walk is a family-friendly, fun and inspiring way to help UMOM break the cycle of homelessness. Early-bird registration is only $25 for adults and $20 for students until September 11, 2016. Children 2 and under are free and do not need to register. All registered walkers, in attendance, will receive FREE admission into the zoo that day!

As CFMA chapters have a tradition of helping each other in times of need, it’s time for us to once again come together. Torrential rains and severe flooding in southeastern Louisiana means CFMA members local to that area desperately need our help; some have even lost everything. Your donation can help fellow CFMA members who have been impacted. 100% of all contributions* will directly benefit your fellow CFMA members who call southeastern Louisiana home. Additionally, in the spirit of Building It Forward , CFMA’s Chairman’s Fund has pledged $3,000 and Valley of the Sun has pledged $1,500 to support this cause. Please share this link with anyone who wishes to help. All chapter and individual donations are appreciated and no amount is too small. *Contributions collected by CFMA will be forwarded directly to affected members in need and are not tax deductible. Contact us at info@cfma.org with any questions.
