Our non-profit for the month of August was the Renton Area Youth and Family Services (RAYS). Our $250 monthly donation to a local non-profit was made to RAYS last month. In addition, we give $5 to the monthly non-profit for every referral we receive from our clients, so thank you! Who is RAYS and how did we learn about them?
The mission of Renton Area Youth and Family Services (RAYS) is to strengthen the lives of children, youth and families by restoring hope and stability in the face of emotional conflict, substance abuse and poverty. In partnership with the community, RAYS transforms the lives of kids and families through comprehensive counseling, training and support.
Mark Bratton, owner of BlueLine Communications (http://www.bluelinecommunications.net/) and President of the RAYS Board of Directors, is a great friend to Wall Financial and is perhaps the Puget Sound’s leading expert in copywriting and communication strategy. Through him we were attracted to RAYS. Says Mark , “I was initially drawn to support RAYS because of their mission, but it was the amazingly talented and dedicated people who are working every day to fulfill that mission who made me want to become more deeply involved with the organization.”
RAYS has served the greater Renton community for 40 years and is proud to have recently received the Business Excellence Award for Best Non-Profit from the Renton Chamber of Commerce. To learn more about RAYS, visit http://www.rays.org/ or contact Jolene Bernhard at 425-271-5600.
