In October of 2011 The Vermont Agency FoundationTM was the premiere sponsor of the Mahana Magic 2nd Annual Monster Bash. Some say this is the "best Halloween party ever" and features a haunted house, thrilling entertainment and sweet treats for all. The Mahana Magic Foundation offers a means of support to children whose parents have cancer. Their goal is to make available purposeful resources to families that find themselves in this situation. Through Art Therapy, a Ropes Course and sessions with a Child Life Specialist, their hope is to empower children with a sense of control at a time when their life feels out of control.

On Friday, December 9th, The Vermont Agency FoundationTM hosted a group of not-so-talented-but-full-of-heart singers who went caroling throughout the St. Albans area to entertain patrons while raising money for less fortunate children in our area. Thanks to the hard work and generosity of all involved we were able to raise enough money to purchase, warm clothing, hats, mittens, underwear, pants, boots and a few toys for all of the children that we received requests for. A great time was had by all who participated and this Christmas will not soon be forgotten by the chidren we dramatically impacted this year.
