Given we are an organization focused on babies, it is rather fitting that we should be "adopted" this year by Berkley Specialty Underwriting Managers. Berkley has a long standing history of giving back to the community and their Irving office has always been a leader within their firm.
Berkley reached out to us in the 2nd quarter to say that they wanted to partner with us for the rest of the year and they set up an employee activity in support of our mission for each remaining quarter.
In an earlier post, we shared about the loom knitting classes that we taught in their office and the amazing donation of handmade hats they made in the 2nd quarter. We are happy to report that their enthusiastic employees continued to make hats and donated over 300 over the course of the year.

| 3Q Donations from Berkley |
In the third quarter, they held a Sleepers in September drive for us and donated 191 beautiful new items of warm clothing (in addition to their handmade hats!)
In the fourth quarter, they held a Nickels for Newborns drive and each employee saved their change during the month of November and they provided us with a "very heavy" donation of coins totaling $472.50!
We are so thankful for the management and employees at Berkley and their incredible generosity and we hope to continue our relationship with them in the coming years. It is so wonderful to see a company that believes in giving back and wholeheartedly supports it!
If you know of a company who might be interested in partnering with us for 2015, please let us know! You can contact us at
