On behalf of the Beverage Alcohol Industry, Sky Ranch Foundation℠ has awarded more than $300,000 in grants this year to several organizations which help rehabilitate our nation’s at-risk youth. The Beverage Alcohol Industry’s contributions have helped the Foundation to award grants to worthy organizations such as Detroit, MI-based Christ Child House (christchildhouse.org).
‘CCH’ is an intensive residential treatment center licensed by the State of Michigan that has provided care for up to 31 boys, ages 5 through 16, since 1948. It has been owned and operated by the Detroit Chapter of the Christ Child Society, a charitable, non-profit organization of volunteers who have been helping disadvantaged youth throughout Michigan for more than 100 years. The philosophy of Christ Child House — “It’s never too late to have a happy childhood”
Foundation Chairman George McCarthy states, “These children have sustained all types of abuse and neglect. Most arrive suffering from severe trauma. We have the deepest respect for this organization for their dedication and service to these youth in the Greater Detroit community.”
