Shaving my head for charity! (A Parrot Creek Christmas fundraiser.)

There are many fantastic organizations doing good things in our community. I've been involved in many but there's one that is especially near to me - Parrot Creek Child and Family Services. 

Some of you may know that I have a younger brother that has made very poor life decisions starting when he was very young. I only wish I had known about Parrot Creek and could have helped steer him in that direction. My desire to help support Parrot Creek comes from not wanting other families and troubled teen boys to feel they are alone and without resources. 

Here's a quote from Linda Winnetee (Executive Director),

“Parrott Creek Child and Family Services was founded in 1968 here in Clackamas County.  It was founded with the mission to serve troubled boys that needed a chance to get back on the right path.  Over the many years since our founding, our world has changed, families have changed, and the pressures our kids face have multiplied and intensified.  The boys and girls who come to Parrott Creek today have sometimes been abused, neglected, or caught up in great family crisis.  Some have just taken a small step off the road.  Some are so far off the right path, they cannot see it from where they are now.  We never give up on any kid, no matter how dark things may seem.  We’ve seen too many lives transformed and dreams attained.”
