Pepsi to be honored with The Family Place Advocacy Award

The Family Place Advocacy Award recognizes an organization that has played a vital role in furthering the mission of The Family Place to stop the suffering of women and children victims of family violence in North Texas. By providing generous financial and volunteer support and promoting awareness with employees, associates and peers, the Advocacy Award recipient is a strong voice speaking out for victims of family violence to improve our community’s response to their critical needs.

We are proud to announce that Pepsi is the recipient of this year’s award.  Pepsi has consistently supported The Family Place for the past 16 years through volunteers, in-kind donations and more than $700,000 in financial contributions.  Pepsi will be presented with this award at the Texas Trailblazer Awards luncheon on August 20th at the Frontiers of Flight Museum.

Adopt-a-Camper!

Summer is upon us and the kids at The Family Place are out of school and ready for summer activities.  Of course it wouldn't be summer without camp!

We need help providing our kids with sleeping bags, camp clothing, hygiene products and other items needed for camp.

If you are interested in adopting a camper, please contact Karen DeGraffenreid at (214) 443-7714 or kadegraffenreid@familyplace.org.
