Clothe-A-ChildMarathon's Downstream organization founded Clothe-A-Child in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1948 and introduced it in Hancock County in Ohio in 1992. Each year, employees raise money to purchase complete outfits for children in need and other items for their families, and accompany the children to shop for their clothes. Funds are also dispersed throughout the year to worthy causes that have included financial support for terminally ill children, and computers and school supplies for inter-city children. In the 58 years since this program was started, the effort has raised over $450,000 and helped 2,000 children and their families. In 2006, Clothe-A-Child raised $61,000 and helped approximately 225 children and their families in Indianapolis and Hancock County. |
