Aunt Martha’s Youth Service Center and Destiny Through Character have collaborated to introduce an event at Drury Lane in Oak Brook on Friday, March 5, 2010 at 7pm to raise funds for Aunt Martha’s neediest children.
This fundraiser began 2 years ago with a vision from Gloria Griseto, a widowed woman who tragically lost her husband, who lost his life while on duty as a DuPage County Sheriff. Griseto’s charity, Destiny Through Character, is organizing this event to benefit Aunt Martha’s.
Each ticket includes dinner, musical entertainment (live music/singer; big band, contemporary music), dancing, silent and live auctions and complimentary beverages (beer and wine).

Aunt Martha’s Holiday Gift Express

(more)
Aunt Martha’s Holiday Gift Express invites caring individuals, organizations, faith-based groups and businesses to brighten the holidays for Aunt Martha’s most needy children, youth and families.
For 22 years, Aunt Martha’s donors have been making sure that more than 3,000 children and youth living in Aunt Martha’s residential and foster homes, homeless youth and low income families receive holiday gifts. Many will not receive a gift without your help. It’s easy to help.
Be a Partner
The easiest way to help is to send a check or donate online with your credit card and we will purchase children’s gifts for you. Your donation helps us to purchase gift cards for teens and families. We have found that our teens appreciate gift cards which allow them the opportunity to shop for themselves! And our low income parents appreciate gift cards to purchase gifts for their children. With your help we are also able to provide them with gift cards for a holiday meal!
Sponsor a Program Drive
Coordinate with your friends, family or co-workers or host a party and ask guests to bring a gift card or new and unwrapped toy or gift. A list of recommended items will be provided. We suggest a gift value of $25. Please contact us by November 10th and we request delivery of gifts or gift cards by December 11th.
Sponsor a Residential Home
Companies, clubs, faith-based groups and families pool their resources to help youth living in a specific residential home. These youth have special needs, are at-risk or are young mothers with small children. Each home generally houses eight residents and each resident fills out wish list. Because this will be the only holiday experience for these young people and we want to do the best we can for them, we suggest a gift value of $100 to $150 per resident. You have a chance to make a lasting impact on a young person. And we invite you to share in the home’s holiday party where your gifts are distributed. Please contact us by November l to participate in celebrating with a residential home.
Volunteer
Work with our staff to organize and prepare gifts for delivery or pick-up.

“2008 Operation Shining Star” Brings Holiday Cheer to Hundreds of Chicago-area Children
Santa teamed up with the U.S. Secret Service, the Chicago Police Department and other law enforcement agencies and corporate and private sector partners to deliver toys to underprivileged kids
On Wednesday, December 10th, 2008, the United States Secret Service Chicago Field Office and the Chicago Police Department kicked off Operation Shining Star. Now in its tenth year, Operation Shining Star is a joint effort by federal, state and city law enforcement agencies and this year joining with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services to make the holidays brighter for children at area hospitals, schools and youth centers. Through the combined efforts of this partnership, and the donations of corporate and private sponsors, Operation Shining Star delivered presents and holiday cheer to hundreds of underprivileged and sick Chicago area children.
The event began by honoring Gold Star families who lost loved ones in the line of duty while serving as Chicago Police officers. Santa and Mrs. Claus then attended a tree-trimming celebration at the Chicago Gold Star Families Memorial and Park and then traveled by a presidential-style motorcade along with law enforcement dignitaries and volunteers to deliver gifts to more than 700 sick and underprivileged children at Altgeld School, Comer’s Children’s Hospital and the Children’s Reception Center.
The children at the Children’s Reception Center had the opportunity to have their picture taken with Santa and Mrs. Claus as well as enjoy an array of holiday goodies provided by Steve Michelis owner of 200 Cut Rate Grocery. The afternoon was shared with children from the Bright Minds Development Institute and their families.
