Jon Allan Memorial Fund Created
A memorial fund has been created with the San Antonio Children’s Shelter in Jon Allan’s name.
Jon believed strongly that all children need to establish a connection with nature, increasingly so in our highly technological world. He also knew that the healing of children who have been hurt in some way is furthered when they have the opportunity to enjoy a natural environment.
With that in mind, this memorial fund has been designated for two specific purposes:
- Caring for the natural environment (trees and other vegetation) at the Residential Treatment Center, located on a beautiful property where abused children ages 5 to 12 can heal in the peace of a park-like setting, and
- Funding activities for the children, activities which focus specifically on nature or the environment. Those activities would include, for example, field trips to local nature centers, botanical gardens, or parks and outdoor classes and other educational programs focusing on nature and the environment.
Those wanting to honor Jon’s memory can do so by donating to his memorial fund. Checks can be made out to The Children’s Shelter, noting the ‘Jonathan S. Allan Memorial Fund’ on the memo line.
Checks should be mailed to The Children’s Shelter, 2939 West Woodlawn, San Antonio, Texas 78228.
