Holiday Effort 2025

Kicking Off Our 29th Annual Holiday Effort

Welcome to the official Kick-Off of the 29th Annual Frank and Rosemary Iovieno Caring for Children Holiday Effort for 2025! We are looking to build on another successful Holiday Effort last year, when numerous companies and individuals directly sponsored 850+ children, and we received a record-setting number of donations to help the children and families in additional ways, not only during the holiday season but also throughout the year. Just a note… if you’d like to Sponsor A Child and be matched before Thanksgiving, kindly register by Wednesday, November 19th. However, the earlier the better, as always.

Leah Ellis’ kindness, resilience, and unwavering spirit left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her, making the Wrapping Party a cherished tradition for her and her family. To honor her memory, the Caring for Children Board has unanimously decided to rename the event The Leah Ellis Memorial Wrapping Party, celebrating her love for giving and bringing joy to others. Leah’s compassion and selflessness, even in the face of her challenges, embody the very heart of this annual tradition.

Kicking Off Our 27th Annual Holiday Effort

Welcome to our 27th Annual Frank and Rosemary Iovieno Caring for Children Holiday Effort for 2023! Last year’s 26th Holiday Effort was a huge success for the Caring for Children organization as we helped over 800+ children. We have never eclipsed 800 children before, so this was a monumental and memorable effort that we take great pride in. We would like to once again send out a huge thanks to the participation and generosity of thousands of sponsors (corporate and individual sponsorship) for enabling Caring for Children to achieve such a milestone effort. The children we support have life-threatening and/or life-limiting illnesses (siblings included) and live throughout Massachusetts and upstate New York.
