The Fairy Tale Ball is only two days away, and Princess Merida is busy sharpening her skills for the dance floor. (Hey, she’s already a great shot at archery, why not?)
She has also been practicing her signature and stocking up on pens, since every child receives a souvenir book with plenty of room for autographs. She just knows she’ll be the talk of the Ball and sign more autographs than any other character! After all, all of the children will have the opportunity to play in her enchanted forest and play games.
Speaking of stocking up on pens, Childcare Resources Resource and Referral team keeps a large quantity on hand too! Our Supplemental Child Care Program (SCCP) assists eligible parents with paying for the cost of child care. Based on a sliding scale related to family size and income, parents pay a portion of the cost of care and Childcare Resources pays the rest. Lots of pens are needed to complete all of the applications necessary to apply, but it is well worth the time and effort!
Helping local families afford quality child care is a vital aspect of Childcare Resources. Many working families turn to us to assist their needs, but when funding is low, our services are limited. Due to decreases in government funding for SCCP, as of May 15, 2012, we have suspended further applications for this vital program.
Your ticket purchase to the Fairy Tale Ball provides the support needed to sustain and grow the programs offered by Childcare Resources – programs that help give our children the best start in life.
Birmingham was recently named the third largest metro area for charitable giving. We hope you will consider contributing to our area’s generosity by attending the Ball and making memories with your family!
