Highland Outdoor would like to thank the Moormeier Family for their generous donation to Phoenix Family Housing Corporation during their annual fundraiser held on April 24, 2008.  Headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, Phoenix Family Housing Corporation is a non-profit organization that provides direct, integrated social services in low-income housing communities for almost ten years.

Every day, Phoenix Family Housing Corporation directly provides and administers a variety of social service resources and programs to more than 4,700 residents living in 28 affordable housing communities throughout Missouri and Kansas. At each community, Phoenix Family provides onsite community-based services to help children, families and older adults avoid homelessness and become more self-sufficient. Located in communities where families and seniors cannot generally afford to contribute themselves, Phoenix Family programs are offered at very low or no charge so as to allow residents to participate without financial difficulty.

Highland Outdoor believes in giving back to our local communities, but this organization really hits home with our philosophy of CREATING and MAINTIAINING QUALITY OF LIFE in communities across America. The Highland Outdoor Family offered a donation of $2,000.00 in services or credit to a contract to be bid on in the live auction.

Every year, proceeds from our annual fundraiser enable Phoenix Family Housing to continue to combat the cycle of poverty and end homelessness. The 2008 event was a huge success, raising a record $117,194.00!

Just this past week we had our crews at the Moormeier’s to give the front of their house a large splash of color with season annuals and installed over 1,700 annual plants! Her kids summed it up best when they returned home from vacation and said, “Wow that is a lot of flowers!” It’s amazing what a difference a day’s worth of work and some vibrant colors can change how your home greats your guests when they show up at your front door!

Thank you to everyone for you generosity either in donations or investing some of your personal time! We look forward to seeing you next year!

Here are some photos of the project we completed, as well as the event:
