Christmas is for Kids 2019

Christmas is for Kids 2019 – our 12th season, can you believe it! Once again we’re committed to helping provide a magical holiday experience for kiddos in foster care and in local domestic violence shelters.

There are several ways for you to help:

1. We’ve collected the wish lists from all of the kiddos. Will you “adopt” a child and go shopping to make her Christmas dreams come true? You can see the list and all of the details here.

2. Santa is recruiting elves to help out in his workshop, making sure the gifts get to the kiddos. Want to lend a hand? You can sign up here!

3. Christmas is for Kids also includes Santa’s Rock Star Party! This is where these kiddos in foster care and domestic violence shelters enjoy a VIP party experience, complete with bouncy houses, dancing princesses, Build a Bear, unlimited ice cream, a dance party and so much more! Santa’s hosting the event at his Sleigh Hanger on Dec. 14th, and is recruiting elves to help with the event.  Sign up here!

Thank you so much for joining us in creating a magical Christmas experience for about 500 kiddos right here in our community. Let the adventure begin!

Love,
Tammy & Kipper
