SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
This year we hope to raise $35,000 to help fund the renovation of our building on Ashland Ave. This location will house more than three times as many families as our current shelter, Beach House Family Shelter. However, we think our efforts would go even farther with you as an official event sponsor. As an official sponsor, you’ll receive tickets to our event and recognition during our event. For specific details about our available sponsorship levels, please view the document included with this letter.
With you by our side at Winter Wonderland, we’re sure to achieve this year’s fundraising goal and help families transitioning from homelessness to permanent housing. If your company is interested in sponsoring our event, please contact info@lfhtoledo.org or purchase a sponsorship online at https://one.bidpal.net/2022ww.
TABLE DECORATING CONTEST
One of Winter Wonderland's most iconic events is its traditional table decorating contest. Every year, each table is assigned a table captain who leads their table guests in choosing a theme and decorating their table. Table decorations include tableware - glasses, dishes, cutlery, napkins - as well as other items to bring the theme to life. White tablecloths are provided by the venue.
A snowflake is placed at each table setting. This snowflake is how each guest votes for their favorite table. Guests should not vote for their own table, but should, instead, place the snowflake into the voting box of another table. The table with the most snowflakes - or votes - is deemed the winner at the end of the night.
The winning table receives a prize that is donated especially for the event.
OUR HISTORY
Beach House Family Shelter began in 1921 when Mrs. Helen (Beach) Jones, wife of the former mayor Samuel "Golden Rule" Jones, recognized the need to establish a shelter for unprotected women and children. Prior to that time, homeless women were offered shelter in the Lagrange Street Jail. Women from several organizations assisted Mrs. Jones in establishing Beach House Family Shelter.
The first shelter was located at 547 Erie Street. The first floor of the shelter was for "wayward" girls and the second floor was the refuge for homeless women and children. The shelter was named in honor of the mother of Mrs. Jones, Harriet Beach, who was an advocate and ally of social justice. Beach House Family Shelter was managed and governed by a Board of Directors known as the "Women's Protective Association."
Beach House Family Shelter received tax-exempt status in 1942, and received a charter from the State of Ohio as a nonprofit corporation in 1963. The name, "Women's Protective Association" was changed to "Beach House, Inc."
In 1982, the program began to include emergency shelter and services for intact families, including fathers, and single-parent fathers with children.
With the changing needs of our community, Beach House Family Shelter has expanded its role in providing housing and economic stability through trauma-informed behavioral health, education, employment, therapy, case management, substance use disorder (SUD) treatment resources, and aftercare services to the homeless in the greater Toledo area.
