Join Us for the DPC 109th Annual Christmas Day Celebration

Dear Community Partner,

The Dr. Piper Center has been making a positive impact in the Fort Myers area for over a century. Since 1915, when Mrs. Sarah Williams and her daughter, Dr. Ella Mae Piper, hosted the first Christmas Celebration in their backyard for 14 girls, we have upheld this cherished tradition without interruption.
This year, we are excited to announce the 109th Annual Christmas Day Celebration! On Christmas morning, we expect to welcome over 400 children and families to the Dr. Piper Center, where they will experience the love and generosity of our community.
We invite you to partner us in this meaningful event. Your sponsorship will directly support the various programs we offer to at-risk youth and the frail elderly, continuing the legacy of Ella Mae Piper. Strong partnerships are vital to ensuring that traditions like the Christmas Celebration can keep touching the lives of hundreds of disadvantaged children.
Our community needs the Dr. Piper Center now more than ever. Through programs like Foster Grandparent, Senior Companion, Retired and Senior Volunteer, and Faith in Action, we provide invaluable support to both our youngest and oldest members.
We depend on the generosity of our donors and invite you to explore our 2024 Sponsorship Packages included on the following page. We look forward to discussing how you can contribute to creating lasting community impact. Your financial support will help us bring joy and dignity to those who need it most, from the excitement of opening gifts on Christmas to the comfort of receiving assistance from a caring volunteer.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference in our community.

Warm regards,

Irvine Bourdeau
Development Director
