Cinnaire | Final Countdown – Haven House Pancake Palooza is Saturday

cinnaire-logo_update

Let’s do this! The Olympics aren’t the only competition you’ll want to tune into this week. The 8th Annual Haven House Pancake Palooza is coming up this Saturday, February 12th, at 8:00 a.m. My fellow star servers are gearing up to do whatever it takes to steal my championship title, but I can’t let that happen. I need your help so I can reach my fundraising goal and support families in our community who are struggling with homelessness get back on their feet.

Haven House keeps families together. Whether it be through services like counseling for kids who are struggling with the trauma of losing their home, or financial tutoring so parents can learn how to budget for a permanent residence, Haven House provides the tools families need for longterm stability and success. For every $1,000 raised, Haven House can provide housing and support services to a family for one year.
 
I’m always up for a challenge and I look forward to this competition every year. It is my goal to retain my championship title and raise the most to support Haven House, but the real winners are the parents and children we are helping. Your support will make a positive difference in their lives.

It’s time for me to get back to my training… Pancake Palooza is just a few days away!

From the gym at Cinnaire, to the steps at our State Capitol, I’ve been training for Saturday. I’m hitting the boxing bag and ready to jump into the ring to fight for Haven House families, but I can’t do it without your support.

The growth of homelessness in Michigan during the pandemic has been devastating and is a dire situation that more and more families are facing. It’s one of the reasons why I’m so passionate about supporting the work of Haven House this year. Haven House’s mission is to house and support families faced with homelessness on their paths to stable homes. Tragically, most families that seek refuge at shelters are separated and children are frequently put into the foster care system. Homelessness in childhood is a trauma that is considered an Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE). ACEs are proven to have long-term negative effects on children in critical areas like education, life expectancy, employment, addiction, poverty, and crime. Removing the potential for any ACE experience, like homelessness, can provide a long-term positive impact on children’s lives.

I’m reaching out to you today to ask you to join me in supporting Haven House and the many families it serves that have experienced homelessness through the pandemic. The annual Haven House Pancake Palooza fundraiser is coming up virtually on February 12thEvery $1,000 we raise provides housing and support services for one family for a year. Any level of support you or your organization can give is greatly appreciated and sponsorship opportunities are available with benefits to highlight your company and your support for Haven House.
  
Support from partners like you over the years has allowed me to retain the title of Pancake Palooza Champion, a title I have a lot of pride in, but more importantly, your support has helped hundreds of homeless families in their time of greatest need. Please consider making a generous donation this year. My goal is to raise $30,000 for Pancake Palooza, which can provide housing and services to 30 families.
 
After seven years of being a Star Server at Pancake Palooza, I am so looking forward to this event. If you have not already, please click here to make a donation. I hope to see you virtually on February 12th!
 
Your support is greatly appreciated.
