- Start Giving with Good Search!
Good Search will make a donation to Breakthrough with every search and every online purchase at one of their partner merchants (including stores like Gap, Target and Barnes and Noble). It doesn't cost you a thing — the money comes from the advertisers and the stores.
The more people use this site, the more money will go to those in need. So please spread the word to your friends and family.
Go to www.goodsearch.com and designate "Breakthrough Club of Sedgwick County" as the organization you would like your searches and purchases to support, or simply click on the link above and have it set up for you. It's that easy!
- Breakthrough Art Project
Breakthrough has partnered with several local art galleries and local artists to bring some artistic flare to its new building. Artists from Gallery XII and Artists at Old Town have contributed several hanging pieces in the building. Additionally, this past summer, Rita Beuttel completed a mural depicting the Flint Hills in Breakthrough's Dining Room. Another local artist, Steve Murillo, has completed a mural which depicts the transition from mental illness to recovery for the Breakthrough collection. To see the mural, click on the "Breakthrough Art Project" link, which will take you to Steve Murillo’s website. To learn about how you can contribute to the Breakthrough Art Project, call Jen at 269-2534.
