About The Bunny Love Foundation
To help make a difference in the lives of children, the original objective of the Bunny Love Foundation was to help young people pursue their dreams in the visual and performing arts. This was achieved through contributions to organizations such as the Dallas Supporters of the Fort Worth/Dallas Ballet and Creative Solutions. Creative Solutions targets at-risk youths between the ages of 13 and 18 residing in Dallas County and features intensive hands-on visual and performing arts workshops. The Foundation has also helped young people fulfill their dreams by providing performing arts scholarships. In 1999 The Bunny Love Scholarship award was created. Five such scholarships were awarded and administered by Young Audiences of Greater Dallas.
As the Foundation grew so did the scope of its activities. The Foundation provided Jonathan's Place, an organization dedicated to aiding children in need in Dallas, with assistance that helped enable that establishment to begin building a new campus, tripling the number of children whose housing needs can be met. The organization also provided funding through a $50,000 challenge grant to The Dallas Children's Advocacy Center to help eliminate violence against children and raise awareness about the alarming crisis that currently exists.
Another way the Foundation is spreading its message is by working with major corporations to create and implement programs like an employee awareness day whereby employees learn the startling facts about child abuse and are offered information on whom to contact and how to help.
2001 marked the exciting debut of "Bunny Love Day to Save The Children". December 5th was officially proclaimed as "Bunny Love Day to Save The Children" by the Mayor of Dallas. It is the intention of the Foundation to make December 5th a global day of awareness and that the day be used as a model for all cities to eliminate domestic violence in order to make this world a safer place for all children. It was also proclaimed by the Mayor that the song "Save The Children" be used as the chosen anthem to express this message.
The Bunny Love Foundation is privileged to have donated $10,000 to the Buckner Children's Foundation, and is now a member of its Great Heart Society. The Foundation has donated $100,000 to the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center, including a recent grant of $50,000 to build a play therapy room in its new building. The Foundation has provided funding over the past six years totaling $125,000 to the Vogel Alcove to make a difference in the lives of homeless children. In the past five years, a total of $95,000 of Foundation resources was given to support the efforts of the Collin County Children's Advocacy Center. The Foundation has also donated to Royal Family Kids' Camp Sponsor-A-Kid Program. The Foundation has donated $4,000 to the Genesis Women's Shelter in Dallas, TX. In 2009, $43,250 was given to the Dallas Summer Musicals. $36,250 was given to Big Thought.
