Debtmerica Sponsors & Volunteers for Foster Youth at High School Graduation Celebration

Monday, 10 August 2009 17:35

LOS ANGELES, July 1/PRNewswire/-- On Thursday, June 11th, Debtmerica, LLC sponsored and volunteered at the graduation event for the Orangewood Children’s Foundation.  The graduation party commemorated the accomplishments of all their foster youth that were graduating from high school.   Over 45 Debtmerica employees volunteered at the event that was held at the First Presbyterian Church of Orange.  Debtmerica sponsored the evening with a significant financial donation and volunteers took part in every detail of the event.
 
Debtmerica employees were assigned to a range of activity stations which included arts and crafts, food and beverage, a photo booth, raffles, and games.  The graduates were given an opportunity to create face masks and frames to celebrate the Mardi Gras theme.  Pictures were taken to remember the important night and volunteers were able to interact with the graduates before the ceremony.  After a few hours at the activity stations, the graduation ceremony followed.

Debtmerica volunteers watched as the graduates were handed a Certificate of Completion from Orangewood, which marks an important and vital step in their lives.  Not only do the certificates recognize the youth for graduating high school but they also mark the stage in their lives where they will move on from foster care to become self-sufficient adults.  The graduation ceremony was followed by a celebration with music, a DJ, dancing and food.  Big smiles were present on the graduates, and volunteers had proud faces as they witnessed the impact of their contributions.

Kristi Piatkowski, the Volunteer Services Program Manager at Orangewood, expressed the Foundation’s deep appreciation, saying, “Debtmerica and its staff are remarkable and truly made this event special for our kids.  Their financial support and staffing at the event made the night a huge success. We loved working with the Debtmerica team and hope to have the opportunity to do so again!”
