12/26/2024 KS – The Holidays are a little brighter for children in southeastern Kansas thanks to the generous contributions of The Family Initiative’s (TFI) long-term donors, Diamond Pet Food Inc. and Watco Companies, L.L.C. These valued partners have demonstrated unwavering commitment to improving the lives of children in care.
Over the past several years, both Diamond and Watco have played pivotal roles in the success of TFI’s annual Pittsburg Golf Tournament. Their significant sponsorships have directly supported the TFI Kids Fund’s mission to meet the critical needs of foster children in the community.
In addition to their tournament sponsorships, Watco and Diamond have gone above and beyond during the holiday season. This year, Diamond generously sponsored more than 50 children, ensuring they received personalized Christmas gifts, and Watco sponsored 20 children, bringing joy and holiday cheer to families in need.
“The impact Watco and Diamond Pet Food have each year on the kids we serve,
among countless other causes, is amazing. Together, they fund so many of our kids’ needs, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their support,” said Steven Mandeville, director of fund development.
The TFI Kids Fund is devoted to enriching the lives of children in foster care by
providing resources and experiences that make a lasting difference. Contributions from sponsors like Watco and Diamond ensure the continuation of vital initiatives, including educational support, extracurricular activities and holiday celebrations.
