Porsche Southpoint Christmas Traditions: Foster a Child at Christmas
For about 20 years, a Porsche Southpoint Christmas tradition has been to fulfill Christmas wish lists through the Orange County Department of Social Services [OCDSS], coordinated by Sharon and Pat, owners of Balloons and Tunes in Carrboro. Sharon and Pat work closely with the OCDSS to ensure kids in foster homes in the community receive Christmas gifts. Each department at Porsche Southpoint, Sales & Service as well as individual managers sponsored a child to ensure a magical Christmas morning for at least 13 children. This year the ages ranged from one year old to 19 years old and from building blocks and bicycles to teen Bibles to Amazon gift cards. All of the employees pitched in and really went above and beyond, purchasing items in addition to wish list requests. We are very proud of our team and their giving spirit.
If you would like to learn more about the Foster Care Christmas Sponsorship here are a few details:
The Program covers:
· Foster children and at risk children coming into foster care.
· Senior Citizens and disabled members under the care of Orange Co. DSS.
· There are about 150-200 children who are in need of sponsorship this year.
· You may also select preference of age and gender of childe you wish to sponsor.

The Orange County DSS also takes financial contributions to help support a child at Christmas.
This is a non-profit organization and so your contribution is tax deductible.
Thank you to Sharon and Pat of Balloons and Tunes for coordinating this event with the Orange County Department of Social Services.
