Board Member/Golf Chair Bryan Peterson Reflects on Why He Supports Sheffield Place

Sheffield Place is an organization my family and I have supported for years.  My passion and commitment to the organization have only grown over time as I continuously see the love and dedication coming from the organizations leaders, the direct impact the mission has made on lives of women and children, and the high success rate. 

The women that enter Sheffield Place want to succeed.  The mission is to support them in their effort to gain health and happiness for themselves, become more effective mothers to their children and become positive contributing members of society.  When a woman makes the choice to enter Sheffield Places program, they are looking to get healthy so they can succeed.  They have found the personal drive to work towards meeting their goals.  The Sheffield team is able to offer them the support they need.  Every time I have the opportunity to visit Sheffield Place, it reinforces my commitment to continue to help the women and children who are ready for that step.  The smiling faces of the children are all I need to show me the love and safety they feel at Sheffield Place. 

My family has found multiple ways to get involved with Sheffield Place including back-to-school functions, organizing essential needs drives, barbeques, serving on the board, and donating gifts at Christmas for the women and children.  We are consistently able to see our financial and time donations working.  The success stories from the graduates of the program make it all worth the work.  I encourage you to get involved with Sheffield Place.  With this organization, you will see your hard work and dedication directly impacting the lives of those that need support in our community.
