🌍❄️ Winter Around the World: Powered by Community ❄️🌍
Our 2025 Family Alliance Network Winter Around the World Therapeutic Program was made possible by incredible community partners who helped us bring culture, connection, and joy to our children one country at a time.
🇮🇹 Carrabba’s Italian Grill (Champion Forest) proudly opened our global journey with an unforgettable taste of Italy. From comforting penne pasta and savory meatballs to warm Italian bread prepared with care, they didn’t just serve a meal—they helped create a meaningful moment our children will always remember.
🇲🇽 Lupe Tortilla (Champion Forest) transported us straight to Mexico on Day Two with bold, authentic flavors and an interactive dining experience. Building tacos and fajitas together brought culture to life and made learning fun, engaging, and delicious.
🇯🇲 Caribbean Hot Pot delivered the perfect grand finale as we traveled to Jamaica. With generous portions of smoky jerk chicken, rich stew chicken, rice and peas, and perfectly seasoned cabbage, they brought authentic Jamaican culture to life through food. Beyond the incredible cuisine, owners Marquisha and Vaughn Watkis showed unwavering integrity and heart from the very first conversation simply saying, “We’ve got you covered,” and delivering exactly that. Their professionalism, follow-through, and commitment to community made this final stop truly unforgettable.
🧁 BabyKakes by Miss Sadie helped us close our journey on the sweetest note imaginable. With heart, reliability, and homemade goodness, Miss Sadie delivered freshly baked cupcakes that wrapped up our program perfectly and put smiles on every face.
These businesses didn’t just sponsor meals they sponsored memories, learning, and joy. We are deeply grateful for their generosity, authenticity, and commitment to supporting families and children in our community.
✨ Thank you for helping us show our children that the world is full of kindness. ✨
