Helping children see life through a different lens
Our Sponsors
We’re thrilled to have this opportunity to give thanks to our benefactors. Everyone who participates is contributing to the cause, but this would simply not be possible without the support of our main sponsors who propel us forward with their generosity and kindness.
Colleen Jones
Eloah Apparel & Designs
Founder
Colleen Jones is the creator of Eloah Apparel & Designs, an online retail store that sells exclusive lifestyle apparel and home décor. Each design she creates is a part of her healing journey. Through each story of the design, her hope is to encourage others to heal. Her mission is to support scholarship programs that help people and their family members that struggle with addiction.
Colleen's vision is to create her own organization that will provide a mentorship program for children that struggle because of their parent’s drug addiction. With the support of her life mentors, John Razzino and Wendy Guthro, she has established The Believe in Me Project.
​
Her first initiative for The Believe In Me Project is a fundraising event to raise money for the Laura Lee Therapeutic School in Lowell Massachusetts, a school that serves children who struggle with social and emotional issues.
John Razzino
Lowell Fleet Companies
Lead Sponser
The lead sponsor is John Razzino, the owner of Lowell Fleet Maintenance, Lowell Fleet Towing, and Lowell Fleet Container, all located at 26 Tanner Street, Lowell, Massachusetts. John rushed to sponsor this project because a man named George Coumounduros gave him a chance and “Believed In Him,” giving him the fuel to believe in himself and change his life forever.
John is grateful to George who mentored John, took a chance on him, and provided him with an opportunity and then gave him the confidence to become his best self. John Believes In providing opportunities to others and pays it forward by offering employment opportunities to our Veterans through the Veterans Administration, Middlesex County Jail Release Program and the Billerica Public School Special Needs Department.
His sponsorship of The Believe In Me Project is another way of passing it forward as he supports his daughter, Colleen Jones, as she fundraises to helps children in need See Life Through A Different Lens. John asks that you help by attending or donating to the Believe In Me Project.
