Saranoni’s Donation of Blankets Brings Comfort to Survivors and Gratitude to CAPSA’s Donors

Saranoni’s Donation of Blankets Brings Comfort to Survivors and Gratitude to CAPSA’s Donors

Saranoni, a luxury  blanket company, has made a generous donation of blankets to CAPSA to support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The donation includes blankets for CAPSA’s shelter, providing comfort to individuals during their stay, as well as blankets to be gifted to individual donors who support CAPSA’s vital efforts.

CAPSA, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing support and shelter to survivors, relies on community contributions to sustain its critical work. Recognizing the importance of expressing gratitude to these generous donors, CAPSA sought a partnership with Saranoni to provide high-quality blankets as tokens of appreciation to CAPSA’s numerous donors, an invitation that Saranoni welcomed. In time, “thank you’s” weren’t the end of Saranoni’s donations!

Saranoni’s substantial donation of blankets aims to bring comfort and warmth to both survivors seeking support from CAPSA and the organization’s valued contributors. The blankets donated to CAPSA’s shelter have a meaningful impact on survivors, as individuals often arrive with nothing. Many survivors have expressed that their time in the shelter is the first time they have felt safe and able to sleep without fear in a long time. Saranoni’s blankets provide an additional layer of comfort to help them heal and rebuild their lives.

In addition to supporting survivors directly, Saranoni’s donation includes blankets to be gifted to CAPSA’s individual donors during various honorary events. These blankets serve as symbols of gratitude, recognizing the significant contributions made by these individuals in supporting CAPSA’s mission. CAPSA understands that these meaningful gestures help foster a sense of community and inspire continued support for their vital services.

“We are incredibly grateful for Saranoni’s generous donation,” expressed Alyna Ohling, CAPSA’s Marketing and Community Engagement Director. “The blankets provided by Saranoni not only offer physical comfort to survivors but also symbolize the shared commitment to creating a safer and more caring society. We deeply value this partnership and the positive impact it will have on both our donors and the survivors we serve.”

Stander Increases their Support of CAPSA’s Annual Golf Tournament

Stander increases their support of CAPSA’s Annual Golf Tournament to honor founder Jan Miller’s love and support of CAPSA. 

Stander, a local mobility device company, and the family of Jan Miller, the founder and former CEO of Stander, have committed to becoming the presenting sponsor for the Jan Miller Memorial Golf Tournament for CAPSA. This move marks an increase in the companies’ support of the non-profit organization, which provides help and support to survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and rape in Cache Valley and Rich County.  

The Jan Miller Memorial Golf Tournament is one of CAPSA’s most significant in-house fundraising events, raising over $50,000 each year. All of CAPSA’s services are provided free of charge, and the funds raised from this event go towards supporting individuals and families escaping violence, beginning new lives, and healing from associated trauma. 

Jan Miller, who was a longtime board member of CAPSA, was passionate about empowering survivors of domestic violence to become independent. She served on the board from 2006 until her passing in 2018 and as the board president was instrumental in the establishment of Independence Place, a CAPSA-owned neighborhood of nine homes, the creation of an endowment, and the expansion of therapy services. In honor of Jan’s memory, CAPSA renamed the annual golf tournament to the Jan Miller Memorial Golf Tournament in 2019. 

Stander has been a longstanding supporter of CAPSA and has now committed to becoming the presenting sponsor of the Golf Tournament. This sponsorship is a testament to the company’s commitment to honoring Jan’s legacy and love for CAPSA.  

The Jan Miller Memorial Golf Tournament will take place on June 8, 2023, at the Logan Golf and Country Club. The registration, sponsorship, and tournament details can be found at www.capsa.org/golf.

ABOUT STANDER 

Jan Miller founded Stander, a company that invents and manufactures mobility devices for the elderly and disabled, in 1998 and served as Stander’s Fearless Leader (president and CEO) until her passing. Jan, along with her husband Troy Miller (engineer), were first inspired to create mobility devices to assist Jan’s grandmother. These inventions enabled Essie to live independently in the comfort of her own home. This victory, combined with Jan’s commitment to better society, inspired her to create Stander, Inc. Since then, Stander has invented over 30 innovative mobility solutions to help the elderly and disabled live more independently.
