💚 The Connelly & Associates team knocked it out of the park!

Together, The McDowell Foundation and the incredible staff at Connelly & Associates packed over 100 backpacks filled with wellness essentials for children affected by abuse, in support of Pasco Kids First! 🎒

Their upbeat energy, caring hearts, and willingness to spend their day giving back made our Wellness Day Packout truly special. From organizing supplies to filling backpacks, this team brought enthusiasm and care to every step.

Thank you to all the vendors who came out and set up booths for the guys! We appreciate you sharing your time, resources, and knowledge to help make the day a success.

And a HUGE THANK YOU to Andrew Hewitt for coming out and speaking to the guys about the importance of wellness and staying healthy. Thank you for encouraging everyone to make their own well-being a priority!

Each backpack carries everyday essentials and a reminder to these kiddos that their community cares about them. 💚

To everyone at Connelly & Associates: THANK YOU for showing up, pitching in, and making a meaningful difference. We’re proud to partner with a team that puts compassion into action.

And thank you to Pasco Kids First for the vital work you do for children and families in our community.

🎉 EXCITING PARTNERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT! 🎉

The McDowell Foundation is thrilled to announce our new ongoing partnership with Connelly & Associates! ❤️

Together, we're joining forces to make a meaningful difference in our community, bringing people together through service, compassion, and a shared commitment to helping those who need it most.

🤝 Our First Event Together: Wellness Day Pack-Up!

We're kicking off this exciting partnership with a special Wellness Day Pack-Up event supporting Pasco Kids First!

Together, we'll be assembling wellness bags filled with essential hygiene and personal care items for children and teens served by Pasco Kids First. These bags will help provide comfort, dignity, and everyday necessities to young people facing difficult circumstances.

🎄🎁 And That's Just the Beginning — A Holiday Toy Drive Is in the Works!

We're also in the planning stages of organizing a special holiday toy drive to bring joy, smiles, and a little extra Christmas magic to foster children and the children served by Pasco Kids First!

Our goal is to work together with local businesses, organizations, and community members to help make the holiday season a little brighter for children who deserve to feel loved, supported, and remembered.

Stay tuned for more details on how you can get involved and help us spread some holiday cheer!

❤️ A Partnership Built on Giving Back!

This is just the beginning of what we hope will be a long-lasting partnership filled with meaningful projects, community events, and opportunities to make a positive impact throughout Pasco County.

A huge THANK YOU to Connelly & Associates for believing in our mission and stepping up to make a difference. We are excited about everything we will accomplish together!
