WARWICK, RI, October 20, 2010 (Press-News.org) Child neglect and abuse is not a pleasant topic of conversation, but organizations like Boys Town California provide critical services and counseling to high-risk children and families in need. For this reason, Astonish Results was happy to support a fundraising event for Boys Town California called the Flight for Hope and sponsored by agency partner Tony Alessandra of Insurance Solutions in Mission Viejo, CA.
According to the U.S. Department of Department of Health and Human Services, over 794,000 children are abused or neglected in the U.S. each year with close to 1,800 dying as a result. Donations from the event fund programs for abused, abandoned, homeless and runaway boys and girls and their families. The elegant, Japanese-themed evening raised funds for the development of programs that instill values to strengthen the body, mind, and spirit of youth who need it most.
The guest speaker at the event was a graduate of Boys Town California years ago who returned to share the story of finding her sister at a foster home and her desire to provide the same love and support she received from Boys Town. It was an emotional and heartfelt life experience that left many audience attendees in tears.
"The fact that Astonish Results is willing to support its partners and our cause by travelling across the country to support this event means the world," said Teresa Dinh, a representative from Boys Town California. "Many of the children we help literally have the clothes on their backs and nothing else, so individual donations go a long way towards improving their lives."
Along with Mr. Alessandra, Astonish Results' CEO Adam DeGraide, President Tim Sawyer and senior director of California marketing at the Mercury Insurance Company, David Suarez, sponsored a table at the black tie gala held at the Fairmont Newport Beach in Newport Beach, CA.
Showing support for Boys Town and the altruism of Tony Alessandra, each executive made a significant individual donation that will benefit the children who need treatment or special care to prepare them for a normal life and re-entry into society. Supporting the Newport Beach community is a priority in the minds of DeGraide and Sawyer, as they are exploring an Astonish Results west coast office in the Newport Beach area for later in 2011.
"I was blown away by the support of Astonish Results and Mercury at this year's Boys Town Flight for hope event," said Tony Alessandra, owner of Insurance Solutions. "This is a tremendous cause to support because the services are so critical for helping abused or neglected children get the normal life they deserve."
Astonish Results CEO Adam DeGraide, "Tony is a great friend who is devoted to his California community. We're happy to support his charitable endeavors, especially when it's for a cause as noble as Boys Town California."
The event also honored community supporters for their efforts in bringing better care to those in need.
Astonish Results also is in the process of opening a new office in the Orange County California region. This will bring many new jobs to the community, as well as allowing Astonish Results to serve their clients better on a more local level. The Astonish Results Orange County office is scheduled to open in 2011.
