Leading Nonprofit’s Goal to Raise Funds to Help Strengthen Family Connections

San Antonio, TX, September 20-21, 2023 – Chosen, a leading nonprofit helping children heal from trauma by strengthening their families, has unveiled its “Break the Cycle” initiative. Timed alongside the 10th anniversary of The Big Give, a 24-hour online fundraising event, and marks the start of Chosen’s considerable year-end fundraising goal of $300,000. Over the past 10 years, The Big Give has generated over $40 million for nonprofit organizations in South Central Texas.

The “Break the Cycle” campaign will provide essential funding to enhance Chosen’s ability to offer therapeutic, educational, and supportive services to those families in need.

CEO of Chosen, Jenni Lord, shared, “Through this campaign, we can extend our reach, helping more families and preventing the devastating cycles of trauma. With community support, we will help create healthier families for generations to come.”

Chosen invites everyone to participate in any way they can—contributing to Chosen’s mission of helping children, youth, and families heal from trauma through healthy relationships.

“Our ‘Break the Cycle’ initiative is a testament to our commitment to positive change. With each step we take, and every family we empower, we’re forging a stronger, more resilient community for the future,” says Vice President of National Advancement Jared Brown.
