CARTMaking the world a better place is important to Best Mattress, which is why they have partnered with Olive Crest, an organization committed to helping to break the cycle of child abuse. Since their inception in 1973, Olive Crest has helped more than 100,000 abused, neglected, and at-risk kids, teens, and young adults. In addition to offering emergency housing and financial support, Olive Crest also helps these kids to receive the mental health services, medical care, and education they need to live a happier, healthier life.
To help this incredible cause, Best Mattress furnishes apartments owned and maintained by Olive Crest, giving these kids a comfortable place to sleep each and every night. April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and Olive Crest will be hosting several events in Las Vegas to raise money for children and families throughout Nevada who have been affected by abuse. Here is a list of events and fundraisers that you can participate in, along with a special note from the Olive Crest team.
A Note From Olive Crest
“Olive Crest works all year-round to prevent child abuse. We are only able to do this vital work because of the generous support we receive from the community. We depend on our April fundraising events during Child Abuse Prevention Month to fund our efforts all year long,” said Laura Armeni-Kneesel, Director of Development at Olive Crest in Nevada. “When our supporters donate their time and resources, attend an event, or simply wear blue on April 7, they encourage everyone else in the community to show their support. They also help to raise awareness about the essential work we do to prevent child abuse and to rebuild families.” – Olive Crest
