WASHINGTON, D.C. –

Foundation partner to hold its first charity fashion and art show, “Beyond Words”, on Friday, December

10th at the Washington Design Center, 300 D Street, SW, Washington, DC 20024. The goal of this event

is to raise awareness and bring a voice to the approximately 40,000 families struggling to raise children

The Lollipop Kids Foundation, a group established help families with children with disabilities, has been

successful in donating durable medical equipment to children whose families lack the resources to

obtain it own their own. The foundation has also sponsored special outings for children with disabilities

and their families, including a visit to a local farm, accessible sailing trips and attendance at a

Washington Nationals game featuring famed rookie pitcher Stephen Strasburg.

Foundation Founder and Executive Director, Debbie Sahlin, established The Lollipop Kids Foundation

to “share knowledge, resources, strengths, passion and encouragement with families that are left feeling

distraught and alone in the midst of hardship”. Sahlin’s son Ryan suffered a traumatic brain injury when

he was 11 months old. Today, Ryan is 16 and Debbie wants to use her experience raising a child with a

disability “to help others find the blessings hidden in tragedy”.

Guests will enjoy the unveiling of renowned artist, Lisa Jones, newest works, original works from WVS
