Ballard Community Services Receives
Grant from
Sunflower Foundation
Ballard Community Services has received a Capacity Building Grant from the Sunflower Foundation for the purpose of installing a new phone system to tie all of the Ballard sites together and for the installation of a computer intranet for all of the Ballard facilities. This grant will help Ballard increase the efficiency and effectiveness of internal operations as well as enhancing services to families and consumers.
Thank you Sunflower Foundation!
Please make birthday donations at least one week in advance of the recepient's birthday.
Once your donation has been made, e-mail Seth Peterson at seth@ballardcenter.org with your name and if you wish to have your gift be made anonymously, the recepient's name, mailing information and birth date so we will be able to ensure they receive their card on their birthday.
We need your help with this most important card program that effortlessly raises money for Ballard Community Services!
Please let all of your Lawrence friends, family and business associates know about the Lawrence GiveBack program and ask them to pick up their FREE Lawrence GiveBack Card at the Ballard Center, CHECKERS or at any of the following restaurants:
All they have to do is go online and register their card for our organization so that CHECKERS and these restaurants will make a donation to us every time they dine or shop at these businesses! We can even register and activate their card for them straight from the Ballard Center and mail their cards to them.
This program helps out your entire community, helping people to shop and support local business and it takes so little time! If everyone that supports our organization gets 10 friends to pick up their FREE cards and use them, it will make a big difference. Please ‘talk up’ this program whenever you can.
Thanks so much. We appreciate your efforts.
