Old Colony Furniture will additionally be collecting gift cards for Fostering Great Ideas sibling visits. The Fostering Great Ideas Sib-Link program brings together brothers and sisters separated in foster care for regular monthly visits, which allows their lifelong bonds to stay strong. Sib-Link coordinates more than 800 sibling visits each year. Donations of $25 - $30 gift cards for kid-friendly restaurants (Chick-fil-A, Moe's, Panera, etc.) are greatly appreciated, and a gift card donation automatically enters you into the raffle.

Fostering Great Ideas is a non-profit headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina. Fostering Great Ideas exists to restore dignity and increase stability for children and families impacted by foster care. The organization’s “Great Ideas” restore hope to children and youth at every step of their journey through foster care, and engage the community to respond.

“Your donations will help fund several of our programs, including keeping siblings connected, academic support, Life Support mentoring and our Aspire program, where we provide a life coach for young adults transitioning out of foster care,” said David White, CEO and founder of Fostering Great Ideas. “We are so incredibly grateful for Old Colony Furniture for hosting this party; the money we raise from this event will change lives.”
