[Altadena, Calif] August 14, 2017 â Five Acres, San Gabriel Valleyâs oldest nonprofit, will celebrate its 30th Annual Golf Classic and Mad for Plaid Par-Tee on September 18, 2017 at a private golf club in Pasadena.

For some of our kids, Five Acres is the only safe place they have. Due to neglect, abuse or financial hardship many have not experienced the everyday joys we take for granted â like going to the movies, shopping, or seeing the ocean. Providing them with summer fun creates a sense of belonging and normalcy in their lives.
At Five Acres, we’ve been busy creating all kinds of therapeutic programs to keep our kids engaged, challenged and fulfilled this summer. From sporting activities to Dodger games to simple shopping outings, a small gift from you can restore a sense of normalcy to the lives of Five
Acres’ children in residence.
We believe that every child, regardless of his or her family situation, should have a summer to remember. Donate any amount today to support that mission and change a child’s life this summer!

Dear Five Acres Friends,
Five Acres is committed to the health and safety of our family, including the children in our care, our staff, volunteers, supporters and community. In light of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 updates by the World Health Organization, CDC and federal as well as local government, Five Acres has established a Pandemic Prevention Protocol to limit the transmission of COVID-19 and to protect the well-being of our community.
This past weekend, the CDC advised against gatherings of 50 or more people over the next eight weeks and today that guidance dropped to gatherings of 10 people or more. Based on these guidelines, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our Five Acres Sunsets in Santorini Gala, scheduled for Saturday, May 2 at the beautiful home of Diane and John Vidalakis. We look forward to rescheduling this special event to celebrate the work of child welfare advocates and supporters of Five Acres at a later date.
Please accept our deepest gratitude for your continued commitment to our mission of helping more children connect with permanent, loving families. Your support is needed now, more than ever, as we strive to protect the Five Acres children in our care and the dedicated staff who support our mission.
We are living in exceptional times and events are evolving rapidly. Over the coming weeks, we encourage you to balance the need to stay healthy and care for your family as we do the same for the community and children of Five Acres. Stay well and thank you for your support!
For any questions you may have regarding the gala, please contact the Advancement Office at 626.773.3776 or events@5acres.org.
Wishing you well and safe,
Mimi Carter & Don Boline
5A Board Members and 5A Sunsets in Santorini Gala Co-Chairs

[Altadena, Calif] â Five Acres has received a $1 million dollar gift from the Helen and Will Webster Foundation to improve and enhance all eight of the residential cottages located on the organizationâs main campus in Altadena. The gift has been made in honor of Helen Webster, who passed away in February 2017.
This extremely generous contribution follows two gifts made by the family foundation in 2016, which were designated to help install keyless access on all of the main campus perimeter doors and replace the hallway carpets and flooring in the residential cottages.
âWe are honored and greatly appreciative of the Helen and Will Webster Foundation for their wonderful generosity and concern for the children living at Five Acres. Transformative gifts like these truly make it possible to provide the best services to our clients for many years to come,â said Chanel Boutakidis, Five Acres Chief Executive Officer.
Helen and Will Webster
The Helen Webster Cottage Care Project will support critical improvements to the comfort and safety of Five Acresâ residential cottages, helping children heal and thrive. The project will begin in 2017 and is set to be completed in 2018, which also marks Five Acresâ 130th Anniversary. The residential cottages house approximately 80 children, ages 6-14, on the Five Acres campus. The residential treatment program provides intensive, temporary out-of-home care and therapeutic services for children and their families, as well as transitional shelter care for girls with a focus on sibling sets.
The Helen Webster Cottage Care Project will enhance the well-being and care of the children living at Five Acres who are working towards reunification with their biological families or foster care or adoption placements.
âAs a fellow Five Acres supporter, we are so appreciative of and grateful for Rich Webster and his family for providing needed cottage improvements to ensure the safety and comfort of children in residential treatment,â said longtime benefactor and former Board Chair Andrew Crowell. âThank you to Rich and the Webster Family Foundation for being advocates and supporters of the children of Five Acres, both now and for years to come.â
âHelping vulnerable children and families in crisis is very important to my entire family,â shared Rich Webster, speaking on behalf of the Helen and Will Webster Foundation. âThis gift honors my parentsâ vision and heart for children, and will be a lasting and meaningful expression of my motherâs legacy. We hope our support brings hope and healing to the children living at Five Acres during this transitional time in their lives.â
