DOUBLECLICK ADOPTIONS THROWS PARTY FOR A GOOD CAUSE

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—DoubleClick Adoptions, a nonprofit organization that connects potential families with orphanages and adoption agencies, will hold its first DoubleClick Carnival on April 11. The carnival will promote the DoubleClick cause and website while offering rides, prizes, and snack foods to guests. The carnival will be free of admission to all guests, and children ready for adoption from orphanages will be at the event.
           “We wanted to find a way to connect children with families in a fun way. Children love fairs and carnivals, and this is a great opportunity for both the families seeking new members and for the children who would love to be part of a new family,” said Jenna Welsh, president of DoubleClick.
         DoubleClick’s website and online platform seeks to connect potential families with orphanages and adoption agencies to create new matches between the families and the children. The website allows families to pay membership and profile enrollment fees to join, while adoption agencies and orphanages pay referral, match, and screening fees to join DoubleClick. Website sponsors and advertisers also pay for placement on the DoubleClick site, and the same advertisers will sponsor the DoubleClick Carnival event. Families at the carnival will have the opportunity to win prizes in the form of waivers for these fees.
DoubleClick Adoptions is a nonprofit organization headquartered in Charlotte and founded by Jenna Welsh in 2005. DoubleClick’s primary mission is to increase the level of awareness and exposure for adoption agencies seeking loving families that want to adopt. More information about the DoubleClick team and their cause can be found at www.DoubleClickAdoptions.org.
