The Darling Home for Kids is extending its fundraiser ‘The Embrace Campaign’.
The Orlando Corporation had pledged to match up to $3.5 million. The money is going towards helping build capacity for their care programs.
Orlando Corporation President, Phil King, says he knows the number will be reached in this final stretch.
“[We are] committed to supporting community healthcare organizations in the areas where we live and work. The Darling Home for Kids provides critical relief to families in need and essential programs and services for medically complex children. Last Year, Orlando Corporation pledged a matching gift of up to $3.5M to help build capacity for their respite, residential, and hospice palliative care programs with a 10,000 sq ft. addition.
“It’s been a challenging year for many, and a campaign this size is a mountain to climb in these uncertain times, but they’ve made it to the final stretch. We’ve always intended our full gift to be a part of this transformational project, which is why we’ve decided to extend this time limited match until November 30th, 2021. We are confident that with the help of this community of generous supporters, we can make this happen, and ensure the necessary resources are in place to support the children and families who rely on The Darling Home for Kids.”
Currently, more than $3,025,000 has been raised by The Darling Home for Kids. CEO Kristin Horrell is ecstatic with the generosity shown by the community and the Orlando Corporation.
“There is truly no home like this Home anywhere else in Canada and there are times when a child’s healthcare needs are so significant, they have nowhere else to go. We are immensely grateful to Orlando Corporation for their incredible generosity and their shared belief in our vision of a world where no child is too complex to receive the love, care, and support they deserve. With the help of dedicated philanthropists like Orlando Corporation, we will continue to build a brighter future for The Darling Home for Kids.”
The campaign has been extended until November 30th. Learn more here.
