Our program “Closings for the Community” is our favorite part of our job. After all the hard work is done and our clients are resting peacefully in their new homes, we make a contribution in their honor to the charity of their choice for every closing…whether its a purchased home or a sold home.
Brookwood in Georgetown owns our hearts and has become the non-profit most contributed to. Why? Because our team is passionate about the good this program does for our community’s adults with cognitive impairments. This amazing group, through the help of MANY volunteers and contributors, provides a day program for these “citizens” (as they are called) to flourish, become artisans, learn teamwork, and find their joy. The citizens look out for each other and work together with pride and a sense of accomplishment…something some of them never knew before this program. As coined by one of the citizens, “Brookwood in Georgetown makes me feel like I have a purpose….a reason to get up every day.”
This morning, B.I.G. held its annual golf “benefit”. It is a celebration of all of the contributions and of all of the contributors! It is a thank you to the people who help make this program work. We check in the golfers every year and it is truly a fun start to the day for us!
Look for the new B.I.G. building to be opened next year right here in Georgetown. They currently have a day program at the Georgetown Church of Christ and that program will transfer to the new building along with the products for sale. Check it out at: www.brookwoodingeorgetown.org. You can also find them on Facebook. Like their page and see what they are up to! And, if you’d like to make a contribution while on their website, please make it to Team Stephanie…which is the team we supported this year. Thanks so much!
