Joy Runyon's Memorial Fundraiser for Childhelp

Tax deductible
It is with a sad, yet “Joy-ful” heart that we are sharing the passing for our one of a kind and magical mother & grandmother, Joy Runyon.  Our Joy passed as she slept peacefully in the wee hours of the morning on Friday, January 15th.   From the time of her stroke on October 22nd, 2020, and through now and ongoing, we are so grateful for all the love and support so many of you have provided to us.

Joy dedicated much of her time for over 30 years + to the Childhelp mission – volunteering for the local Chapter, serving for years as the Chapter’s Chaplain and doing anything in her super-human power.  Her efforts included putting  on spectacular and beautiful fund-raising events, arranging and personally delivering numerous flower arrangements for Childhelp’s annual Congressional Luncheon on Capitol Hill for the National Day of Hope, hauling furniture and decorations to Childhelp’s residential treatment facility, The Alice C. Tyler Village, in Lignum, Virginia… and countless other ways, too numerous to count.  Joy was twice recognized by the Childhelp Founders with special awards for her selfless dedication to the cause, and for her hard work and generous donations delivered over the past three decades.

Please join us in honoring Joy & support one of her greatest life passions by giving to the The Alice C. Tyler Childhelp Village. 

The Alice C. Tyler Village is a private, nonprofit, psychiatric residential treatment facility located in Northern Virginia. The Village provides a clinically sophisticated therapeutic program utilizing an interdisciplinary approach specializing in the treatment of children and adolescents with mild to severe trauma or neglect, psychiatric disorders, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
