FAMILY CONNECTION TIME CHALLENGE

This challenge starts Friday, 5/22 and goes through Monday 5/25.
It is super EASY to enter and you could WIN A GREAT PRIZE FOR YOUR FAMILY!

TWO SIMPLE STEPS:
Step 1.
SNAP A PIC OF YOUR FAMILY DOING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:
1. Playing a Board Game TOGETHER.
2. Picnic-ing TOGETHER. (indoor or outdoor)
3. Volunteering TOGETHER.
4. Playing Outside TOGETHER.
5. Baking/Cooking TOGETHER.
6. Doing something special  for MEMORIAL DAY TOGETHER!

Step 2.
Post your PIC on This Side UP! Family’s Facebook page or email it to info@thissideupfamily.org  BY MIDNIGHT ON MONDAY, 5/25.

WHY??!!!
1.YOU COULD WIN.  All entries will be submitted for a Family FUNnection basket valued at $50  (movie tickets, pizza gift card, board game, and more)!
2.THE BIG WHY.  Because Family Time is so important and has been proven to be a key indicator of a child’s success and well-being.   Children who are positively connected to their family relationships are less likely to make poor choices and more likely to become confident, content community participants as they grow up! That relationship building starts NOW, no matter the age of your child! It’s never too early and it’s never too late to focus on family connection!  And the results are trajectory-changing, for family and community strengthening!

Thank you for participating in this purposeful challenge to increase FAMILY TIME in your home and our community!!

(Winner announced 5/28!)

This Summer, Single Side Up will offer a free finance class just for single parents.  We will cover budgeting, getting out of debt, and saving.  Single parents can WIN with money, and we want to help you!  It just takes some organization, some temporary sacrifices, and commitment.

This Month’s Family Value – Focus on Finances!

Join us for a FREE 90-minute seminar that’ll de-stress and bless your family on the topic of wills and planning for the future!

What is a Will?  How do wills work?  What big problems are left to my family if I pass away without a will?  The Settle Law Firm will be here to educate on the important documents you need to have in place (declarations of guardianship, a “living” will, medical power of attorney and more) to make sure you are in good shape!

Leave with some documents and/or valuable resources that will help put these important pieces in place for your family!  Jnana Settle, attorney, will hold a question/answer time at the end, too!

Childcare registration available:
Free childcare will be provided for kids ages 0 through 13 with a valid childcare registration on a first come, first serve basis!   Space is limited in all childcare rooms, so sign up early to ensure a spot.  If using childcare, please arrive a few minutes early so you can check-in your children before class starts at 2pm.

There is a “Refundable Reservation Fee” at the time of registration.  The reservation fee is $10 and will be refunded to you at check-in that evening.  If you cancel, your fee will not be returned.  Click HERE to register!

NTGD TSUFYou can help This Side UP! Family continue supporting families as they move from surviving to thriving by supporting us on
September 17th, North Texas Giving Day.

2020 has been a hard year for all of us.  Isolation, job loss, at home learning, tough health decisions, and the current political climate can make us feel like we’re farther apart than ever.   Everything has looked different this year, but there is one thing that’s still the same for everyone,  we all love our families.

Every dollar you give to This Side UP! Family goes directly into supporting ALL families with at home date nights, family connection nights, parenting education, and more.

We’re all learning new ways to be together and we at This Side UP! Family are so grateful to be going into our 10th year of celebrating and strengthening family.  Your donations will help us start 2021 strong with in person programming, new COVID protocols, more virtual resources, and all the tools we need to continue supporting what we all have in common- family.

Early giving starts on 9/1/2020 at 8:00 am and continues until September 16th at midnight!   If you’d rather wait to make your donation until North Texas Giving Day- You can give on 9/17/2020 from 6:00 am until 11:00 pm.
