Can You Believe It’s Almost That Time Of Year Again?

At Aviva, we strive to brighten the futures of the children and families we serve by providing various services, resources, and opportunities such as our Aviva’s Annual Holiday Drive.  Through our Sponsor-A-Family and Sponsor-A-Child programs we can help deliver a wonderful holiday experience at a critical time. By sponsoring our families and children, you are not only providing gifts but also extending some warmth and love during this time of year.

The need is even more tremendous this year, as we have more children, youth, and families who would love for us to brighten up their holidays.  Last year, through the generous support of friends like you, nearly 200 families and foster children/teens enjoyed a very joyous holiday. With your help, we can touch and influence more lives this holiday season.

We hope we can count on you this year to make the holidays even more SPECTACULAR for Aviva’s children and families! A special thanks to those individuals and groups that’ve participated in Aviva’s Annual Holiday Drive. We appreciate your kindness and generosity!

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Sponsor-A-Family:  Approximate donation for sponsoring a family is between $200-$500 (depending on the family’s size).  Sponsors will have access to a personalized wish list which will include the family’s story and holiday wishes. The donation will depend on the family size and their needs. Gifts are due by Friday, December 1.

Sponsor-A-Child:  Approximate donation for sponsoring a child is between $40-$60. Sponsors will have access to a personalized wish list which will include the child’s name, age, gender, and holiday wishes. Gifts are due by Friday, December 1.

New for this year – Direct sponsorship!

If you’d like to sponsor a family or child directly by buying presents from their wishlist’s, then you can do so by going to our new campaign site at https://holidays.aviva.org. Here you can see what each family or child has on their wishlist and choose whom you would like to sponsor.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at holidays@aviva.org with any questions.
