2011 ORIX Holiday Drive

We are very excited to announce that Community Partners of Dallas will be the recipient of funds that will be raised during the 2011 ORIX Holiday Drive. This nonprofit organization was chosen from a group of 20 charities that made presentations to ORIX employees at the Foundation Fair on September 7th.

Community Partners of Dallas is a nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring safety and restoring dignity and hope to abused and neglected children by providing resources and support to the caseworkers of Dallas County Child Protective Services.

Community Partners of Dallas served more than 16,000 children last year through six unique programs:

• Rainbow Room, an emergency resource center providing critically-needed items for children in the care of CPS
• Kids in Crisis, provides funds for children's clothing, transportation, therapy, enrichment activities, housing and medical expenses
• Adopt-A-Caseworker, connects individuals and businesses with CPS caseworkers to help them meet the needs of clients
• The Heart Program, an internationally-recognized program that provides therapeutic group treatment to victims of sexual-abuse and their non-offending family members
• Caseworker Appreciation, events that are held to show appreciation and gratitude to caseworkers
• StoryLine, (214) 446-2222, a phone line that children can call 24 hours a day to hear a story

Last year, ORIX USA employees raised $31,765 during the Holiday Drive which stemmed from raffle tickets sales for fantastic prizes, chair massages, jeans passes and much more! We’re hoping for an even greater outcome this year, so stay tuned to this page for results in December!
