2010 Imagine the Possibilities Annual Fund Campaign
Imagine a world where every child has a home.
Imagine a community where parents and children can resolve their conflicts.
Imagine. The opportunities are limitless.
Truly, your donation saved lives in Snohomish County. Youth who were on the street and in crisis are getting a warm bed, meals, counseling, educational services, and a new start. This year, the need is even more pressing. With the economic downturn, increased family hardship is triggering more teen homelessness.
Cocoon House serves youth at Cocoon House North (Arlington), as well as Cocoon House Central, Cocoon Complex and U-Turn in Everett. Cocoon House East (Monroe) serves youth ages 18-21. Our prevention and street outreach services encompass the entire county. We have also initiated a countywide youth violence and gang prevention program.
Cocoon House needed to raise $100,000 in the 2010 Imagine the Possibilities Annual Fund Campaign, which ended June 30, 2010. Your support, at any level, helped to turn the possibilities into realities. Together we did more than simply imagine.
The 2010 Annual Fund Campaign has ended. Stay tuned for an update on how it went and to learn more about the 2011 Annual Fund Campaign!
