Summer Sip Recap: A Night of Generosity and Heartfelt Impact

Last night’s Summer Sip was more than just a beautiful evening. It was a powerful reminder of what happens when women come together with purpose. Over 40 attendees gathered at Blind Squirrel Winery in Chagrin Falls to support Honey from the Rock, a local nonprofit doing deeply impactful work with children and families touched by the foster care system.

​Thanks to our generous community and sponsor Pulp Smoothie & Juice Bar, guests enjoyed delicious food and drinks, while learning about an organization run entirely by volunteers, driven by donations, and full of heart.

Project Give proudly presented a $5,000 grant to support Honey from the Rock’s next chapter: creating a childcare and bonding space in their new, larger location. Founder Kathy shared an emotional presentation about the importance of this space- a room filled not just with toys and kid-sized furniture, but with dignity, joy, and hope for children navigating the trauma of foster care and family separation.

This space is designed for more than just play. It's a sacred place where siblings, often separated into different homes, can bond; where parents can reconnect with their children in a safe, comforting environment; and where joyful memories can begin to soften some of the pain these children carry.

As Kathy said, “My one-year-old foster son deserves more than a room with a table and chairs he can’t even sit on. These children struggle already with visitation. Anything I can do to infuse that trauma with joyful memories is an honor.”

​We are humbled to stand beside Honey from the Rock as they build this much-needed space. Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, and showed up in support of families in our community. Together, we are making a difference.
