The Latest & Greatest
Believe In Tomorrow feels the impact of amazing acts of kindness every day. Since 1982, we’ve accumulated short and long term partners and donors who believe in us. Many of our long term partners are recognized here.
Much of what we receive, however, comes from individuals or small instances of giving back. We appreciate every gift, no matter how small. Read below to find the latest instances of giving, from sponsorship of an event, to generous donations by volunteers, to inspired acts of generosity that keep our programs running smoothly. Your thoughtfulness helps families have the best experiences possible while staying in our hospital and respite facilities, in addition to attending our Hands On™ Adventures.
BELIEVE IN TOMORROW HOUSES GET A FRESH LOOK!
New deck furniture and a healing garden were installed at the Believe In Tomorrow House at Pinnacle Falls, providing areas where families can spend time together outdoors during the warmer months. The interior of the Believe In Tomorrow House on Wisp Mountain just received a deep cleaning thanks to the hard working congregation of the Garrett County United Methodist Church.
At the beach, the Believe In Tomorrow House by the Sea and the Believe In Tomorrow House on Fenwick Island boast new sets of dining room furniture and newly upholstered chairs, as well as new carpeting throughout the House by the Sea. Thanks to the generosity of Scott Vogt, a Believe In Tomorrow board member, the back patio at the Believe In Tomorrow House by the Sea now sports custom-built planters, brightly colored umbrellas and a commercial misting fan. The Believe In Tomorrow House on the Bay, along with our other two beach facilities, have all been adorned with carved fish decorations, courtesy of Fenwick Float-ors in Fenwick Island.
A few fresh coats of paint cover both the interior and exterior of the Believe In Tomorrow Children’s House at Johns Hopkins, as well as the stairs and upper deck of the Believe In Tomorrow House at St. Casimir. The Dakes Company has played an instrumental role throughout the years in capturing just the right shades of paint in our facilities, and these paint jobs are no exception. Additionally, several of the units at St. Casimir have been outfitted with flat screen tvs, generously contributed by Vance and Nancy Van Horne.
Thank you to everyone who pitched in and played a role in helping prepare each of Believe In Tomorrow’s houses for the upcoming seasons!
Unsung Heroes
Every year, Believe In Tomorrow recognizes an Unsung Hero at its Annual Benefit and Auction. This person is someone who goes beyond the boundaries of service, putting heart and soul into thoughtful and inspiring projects for the foundation. The amount of effort, time and assets this person spends makes them more than a contributor; they become part of the heartbeat of the organization and a forever friend. These are our Unsung Heroes.
