The Taylor Family Foundation (TTFF) continues its commitment to providing financial and emotional support for children and families in the community who are in critical need. Because of you we will continue to: • Create therapeutic experiences and support through camp
• Provide children with clothing and basic necessities
• Provide medical devices and equipment often needed but not covered by insurance
• Assist families with life essentials such as food and gas when their child is in the hospital • Assist families with funeral expenses Join us to celebrate 28 years of giving at our annual Day in the Park auction fundraiser Sunday, August 26th at Camp Arroyo in Livermore. Proceeds from the event will allow TTFF to continue its Mission to preserve the wellness and enhance the quality of life for children in Northern California living with life-threatening and chronic illnesses, developmental disabilities, and youth at-risk through unique therapeutic experiences and support.
#MusicChangesEverything Sophie’s Place, TTFF’s mobile music therapy program, in partnership with the Forever Young Foundation and Wells Fargo, brings music to children who are homebound or patients in Northern California hospitals and hospice homes. Currently, Sophie’s Place has expanded to four local hospitals from Santa Clara to Sacramento. Music therapy boasts many measurable results, including increased cognitive function, emotional support, relaxation and end of life support.
Your continued donations and support change lives in the following ways: • Campers can explore who they are, and aren’t defined by their disease • Patients and their families gain emotional support and coping mechanisms through music therapy
• Young people make relationships that extend beyond camp • Children with serious illnesses find support year round and feel connected even when they’re in the hospital
