VSP
(Very Special Person) Program These bi-monthly events allow a "Very Special Person" at JDCH to leave
their hospital bed & have some fun. We provide friends that care,
personalized snacks & gifts & even guest appearances by some of the
kids' favorite characters. Sponge-Bob & Scooby Doo have recently joined us.
Opportunities are available, if you are interested, in
sponsoring a "VSP" Party through your company or in memory or honor of a loved
one. We promise it is an unforgettable experience!!! Please contact the
foundation for more information.
Stephen's
Place
Our long term goal as a foundation is to build "Stephen's Place", a Family
Resource Center at the new Joe DiMaggio's Children Hospital. This much needed
support center will offer families a wealth of knowledge. Fully equipped with
research material, a link to the outside world with computers, internet acess,
copiers, faxes, etc. & the comfort of being surrounded by other families in
similar unfortunate situations.
With the generous support of our families, friends & donors
we are making BIG strides toward our $500,000 goal. We could never do this
without each & every one of you!!! YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE &
we thank you!

2007 The 4th Annual Steven LaBruyere Jr. Charity Golf Event
This event raised money to help more families and children at the JDMH.
2006 Our Texas Hold'em event in
November was fun and exiting for all who attended. The funds
raised from this event helped pay for holiday gifts for families with children
who are struggling with the affects of the worst kind
of illnesses. And your contributions went a long way to bring
smiles to those little faces.
2006 The 3rd Annual Steven
LaBruyere Jr. Charity Golf Event was a great success and the proceeds helped
many families and children at the JDMH.
2006 -The Depend On Us Foundation
