Dear Matt and Mike,

I want to thank you again for allowing the NCJW Center for Women to participate in the Joyal Foundation’s $100 For 100. Your continued generosity greatly impacts the lives of our clients. My heartfelt gratitude is shared by my clients. Here is just a sample of the thank you notes we have received.

“My kids were ecstatic to learn that they could spend $100 on items of their choosing at Dick’s Sporting Goods Store. I know that is something that they will never forget because they kept asking “Is it ok?” “Are you sure?” and “We can get what ever we want.” I am all about making good memories and they had the opportunity to experience a shopping spree. I am so grateful. – G. A.”

“First and foremost I’d like to thank you for your generosity. The spreading of love and positivity that you all have shown though giving has inspired me to be more generous in my day to day and is truly what Christmas is all about. Love BA”

Again, thank you for all you do on behalf of my clients. I wish you both a happy and healthy New Year.

Dear Renee,

What an uplifting and joyful event your team organized for the 1004100 in Plymouth!

We had 12 children from CSC-MSS attend and they and their families were delighted to partake of this offering. It warmed my heart so, to see their smiles and to know that some joy was shared for these often over-burdened children. I can’t thank you enough for this experience. Myself and our team will be honored to volunteer in the years to come to continue the success of this worthwhile endeavor.

Thank you so very much for all you do to make this magic happen! Blessings to you and yours this season and ongoing,

On behalf of Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County and the children we represent, I want to thank you for the event Sunday at Dick’s Sporting Goods in Coral Springs. Grandparents and other relatives raising the children when parents are unable to, know that buying expensive presents for Christmas is out of the question. The joy on the children and relatives’ faces when they had their purchases was priceless. Thank you so much for this Holiday gift.

Another $100 for 100 event is in the books and I wanted to thank you for making it possible. I can report it was another resounding success.  Almost all of the children we served with the event came from the Germantown Neighborhood center in Quincy, which is a branch of the South Shore YMCA. This year the population we drew from was a little bit older than in past years because we have identified a greater need among that age group. Many different groups and civic associations have events for younger children around the holidays, and older children can find themselves left out. Our event this year extended to many pre-teens and teens who would have been otherwise excluded from any other holiday giving events. In short, I just want to let you know that your support played a critical role in bringing some holiday cheer to a deserving group of underserved children who might otherwise have had none. The attached photographs tell the tale.

As many of you know, my thinking about this event goes beyond the fact that it brightens a single day in the holiday season. I hope that this event demonstrates to these children that the world is not always as cold as it sometimes appears and that there are good, caring people in the world who are willing to give of themselves. Thank you for being in that group of people and for allowing your generosity to convey that message.

I wish you health and happiness in the new year!  T.O.M.

Dear Joyal Foundation,

On behalf of my clients, I want to personally thank everyone that participated in the 100 for 100, on December 4, 2016 in Coral Springs. I represent grandparents and other relatives who have changed the course of their lives by raising a relative’s child. Most of them are on fixed incomes. Several of my families were lucky enough to be at the event and go shopping for gifts they never would have received. I was there and witnessed the smiles and joy on the children’s faces and the adults who watched in joy.

The name Joyal fits!! It is really JOY ALL. Thanks , once again.

Hi Renee,

I just want to thank you for inviting us to that wonderful event 1004100 in Plymouth yesterday. Seeing the excitement in the eyes of our CSC children was so uplifting! The Moms were so grateful for this experience with their kids. As you might well imagine, it’s not often that a Mom with cancer can shop with a child and offer them so much. I applaud your organization for doing so much for so many!

Again, please know that the shopping spree you provided uplifted us all. We can’t thank you enough!

Blessings,

Kathy

I want to personally thank you for your generosity towards our 5 students that were selected to receive the $100 Gift Card to Dick’s Sporting Goods in Naples, Florida. We helped to facilitate their shopping at Dick’s this past Sunday and it was a joy to watch them shop for their families. They were so proud and grateful. We, as a School Community, are very appreciative of your efforts. Thank You.

I would like to thank everyone so very very much. I am on a fixed income and currently raising 2 grandchildren ages 3 & 7 without any assistance. My granddaughter Ariana was so excited and blessed to be one of the recipients of a $100 gift card. She was excited to receive gifts I wasn’t able to give her however she enjoyed the entire experience. Emerson Foster was so caring and added so much excitement and fun to the day. Ariana really enjoyed shopping with her. Once again thank you so much. God bless everyone.
