Year’s end is a time with a lot of
charitable giving. Whether it is the Christmas spirit or making final
tax-deductible donations, charities often experience an uptick in donations at
the end of the year. The Boehmer Team supports numerous charities and
foundations throughout the year, including some right here in St. Charles
County. So if you are making plans to give a year-end charitable donation,
consider one of these fine organizations.
First Capitol Lions Club
First Capitol Lions Club is a local
branch of the largest service organization in the world, Lions Club
International. Club members identify community needs and organize to offer
assistance where help is needed. Club Lions are actively involved in:
collecting eyeglasses to recycle, supporting sight-saving surgeries, vision screenings
for local people in need, and providing treatment to those at risk of losing
their vision. In addition the Lions Affordable Hearing Aid Project (AHAP)
enables Lions to provide high-quality low cost hearing aids to individuals who
would otherwise not be able to afford them. We support The Lions Club mission
and think they are a great consideration for your year-end donations.
Missouri School for the Blind
This fine organization offers
educational and outreach services for legally blind Missouri children from
birth through age 21 and their families free of charge.
Missouri School for the Blind
concentrate services on two areas – schools for the blind from kindergarten
through grade 12 school in St. Louis, Missouri, and outreach services offered
throughout the state. MSB’s school is free of charge and open to all legally
blind Missouri children ages five through 21. But they need our support to continue
to offer great services to children and families. We’ve been supporters for
years and know they make a great option for year-end donations.
Hunt For Justice
Hunt for Justice is a charity based
out of St. Charles, Missouri. Their mission is to support police officers
throughout the nation that have experienced hardship as a result of accidents
while on duty. They rely solely on donations as their directors and volunteers
do not accept a salary. We’ve been fortunate to help them assist officers in
St. Charles County that are still dealing with traumatic job-related injuries.
We think they are a great organization.
Sunshine Kids
Sunshine Kids is an organization
that adds quality of life to children with cancer by providing positive group
activities where children can bond with and get support from other kids also
fighting cancer. While they are based out of Houston, Texas, Sunshine Kids
supports children nationally, including kids right here in the St. Louis area. For
each home The Boehmer Team lists, a donation is made to Sunshine Kids. Our support for this organization has never
waivered and we think they are an excellent choice for year-end donations.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
The mission of St.
Jude Children’s Research Hospital is to “advance cures, and means of
prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and
treatment.” At St. Jude no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or
a family's ability to pay. We’ve been fortunate to get involved in organizing
for St. Jude via the yearly St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway event. We’ve worked
with the homebuilder to promote this event and have donated
prizes, including a trip to Dream Riviera Cancun to help raise funds for the yearly event. If
you are thinking of making year-end donations, consider St. Jude.
