In 2008:

Again, thanks to your continuing generosity, the LKW Fund was able to do the following:

As a result of the silent auction/dinner proceeds, 26 children will receive scholarships to BCA summer art camp.
In May, the Fund also purchased a family membership to ECHO Science Center & Lake Aquarium. David Wright of College Street Congregational Church once again helped select the deserving family, a single mom and her daughter.
In addition, we were a sponsor of SafeSpace's 4th annual Run Against Rape, held on April 27.
The Fund is also making it possible for 3 children to attend the Humane Society of Chittenden County's Camp Paw Paw, a week-long program designed to teach children how to interact with, care for, and enjoy the companionship of 4-legged friends.

In 2007:

Women Helping Battered Women: educational kits for a program for elementary school children impacted by domestic violence.
Women's Rape Crisis Center: a weekend hiking and camping healing retreat for survivors of sexual violence.
Burlington City Arts' Art from the Heart, a theraputic art program for children hospitalized in Fletcher Allen Hospital.
