Foguth Financial Group Launches Month-Long Diaper Drive to Support Local Clinics in Need
As a way to celebrate the birth of the firm founder’s first boy and sixth child, due in August, Foguth Financial Group is launching a month-long diaper drive with the goal of collecting 42,000 diapers to support two local clinics in need. The event kicks off on Thursday, July 16 and coincides with the firm’s seventh annual shred day. Collected diapers will be donated to the LACASA Center, a center that strives to protect, advocate for and empower victims and survivors of child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault, as well as the Pregnancy Help Clinic, which supports families throughout their pregnancies and life journey.
“According to the National Diaper Bank Network, one in three families experience diaper need,” said Michael Foguth, founder of Foguth Financial Group. “Diapers aren’t something you can opt out of purchasing and there currently are no government aid programs for diapers, so in honor of the birth of my first son and sixth child, we’re using this exciting time in my life to give back to the community.”
The lofty goal of raising 42,000 diapers is reflective of roughly how many diapers Foguth and his wife, Brooke, will have gone through once all six of their children are potty trained. The couple’s son will join five sisters, ages three to 10-years-old.
Foguth Financial Group will launch their diaper drive by pairing it with their annual shred day event. This public event on Thursday, July 16 from 3 - 5 p.m. allows residents to shred sensitive documents. Anyone who attends has the opportunity to enter to win an Amazon Fire 7 16GB tablet. Attendees who bring a pack of diapers will also receive a second entry into the tablet drawing.
Diapers can also be dropped off at Foguth Financial Group located at 315 W. North St. C, Brighton, MI 48116. Diapers can also be directly delivered to firm by using their Amazon Registry here. The diaper drive is set to end Friday, August 14, 2020.
