In honor of National Adoption Awareness Month in November, The Langham Huntington, Pasadena has partnered with Five Acres to create awareness for their Permanency Campaign “20,000 by 2020,” which educates the public about the need for permanent placement for children of all ages in foster care.
The Langham’s National Adoption Awareness Month Rate is valid for stays from November 1 – December 27, 2016. For guests who book the package, The Langham will donate 10% of proceeds from each room booked to benefit Five Acres’ 20,000 by 2020 Campaign, intended to help every single child in foster care to find a loving, permanent family by the year 2020.
Five Acres recently celebrated a remarkable birthday– 128 years of uninterrupted service to Southern California caring for vulnerable children and their families. Originally founded in downtown Los Angeles as an orphanage, their initial mission was simply to provide safety to children who had no home. In time, their mission expanded to also focus on the well-being of their clients and caring for the mental and emotional health of children who were increasingly coming to them as a result of abuse or neglect. They now care for nearly 8,500 children and family members annually across five counties; they now strive for permanency – a permanent, loving home – for all those in our care.
The three pillars – safety, well-being and permanency – provide the framework for all of Five Acres’ current programs and they will guide our steps in the future as we continue seeking even more effective means of caring for children and families in crisis.
The Langham is located at 1401 S Oak Knoll Ave, Pasadena. Visit www.langhamhotels.com/en/the-langham/pasadena/ for more information.
