InStyle Magazine & AOL have teamed up with Hollygrove and board member Lauren Shuler Donner for an online entertainment memorabilia mini-auction on EBAY starting at midnight March 7, 2005. Supporters and friends nationwide are encouraged to participate in this amazing event benefiting Hollygrove. OUR MISSION: Hollygrove is a child-centered, family-focused community organization serving abused and neglected children and those at risk of abuse. Based on a philosophy of character-building values, we help children and families to heal and develop emotionally, physically, intellectually and ethically. Our goal is for children to be part of safe, healthy and permanent families and to become contributing members of society. HISTORY: Founded in 1880 as the Los Angeles Orphans Home Society, Hollygrove is the oldest nonsectarian home for children in Southern California. Since its inception in 1880, Hollygrove has cared for more than 15,000 children. The early years were dedicated to serving orphaned children. Due to changing community needs in the 1950's, the organization shifted its focus. Today Hollygrove serves abused children who have been removed from the custody of their families by the court. We provide these children with a home and therapeutic care. Many of these children were born addicted to drugs, have experienced sexual and physical abuse, and have even witnessed violent crimes. Often, they suffer from a combination of disorders including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and cognitive disabilities. It is not unusual for these troubled children to arrive at Hollygrove with feelings of hurt, distrust, anger, fear and hopelessness. They have been robbed of their childhood and given the message that they have no value. Hollygrove provides a warm, family type environment where children learn and grow. We seek to build trust, hope and self-esteem into their lives to help heal their emotional wounds and equip them to lead happier and healthier lives. Our Current Auctions: To protect bidder privacy, when the price or highest bid on an item reaches or exceeds a certain level, User IDs will be displayed as anonymous names.
