Kids Helping Kids is Theme for
Gift/Toy Drive
Join
the Redlands AYSO – Region 50 Soccer teams on Saturday, November 16, 2013 as
they kick-off the holiday season with their “Kids Helping Kids” toy drive that
will benefit Children’s Fund in their 25th
Annual Celebration of Giving Campaign.
A new, unwrapped gift can be
donated from 7:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at the Redlands Sports Complex located at
1790 Dearborn, at the corner of Dearborn & San Bernardino Ave.
Children’s Fund has been collecting holiday gifts for underprivileged children for 25 years. In a region where one in four youth live in poverty, it is a way to help bring joy to a child during the holiday season.
“Teaming up with Redlands AYSO is a way to educate our youth that giving back is very rewarding,” says Erin Phillips, president & CEO of Children’s Fund. “The parents will take their child shopping for a gift that they would like to receive, and then the child donates that gift to the collection box. What a great message!”
This is the second year that
Redlands AYSO has participated in the Celebration
of Giving Campaign. “Redlands AYSO is excited to partner with Children's Fund again
this year, and we welcome everyone to participate in the Kids Helping Kids Toy
Drive - not just soccer players and their parents but the entire community as
well,” states Trish Aurelio, asst. regional commissioner.
Family Friendly 89.7 KSGN will be at the Redlands Sports
Complex during this Kids Helping Kids Toy Drive, encouraging the public to
bring a gift donation. “Making a
difference is what KSGN stands for,” states Bryan O’Neal, program director of
KSGN. “Together, we can put smiles on
faces of underprivileged children this holiday season.” KSGN will have their spinning wheel for prize
opportunities. Teams bringing toys may
have the opportunity to recite the Pledge of Allegiance which will be played on
air at a later date.
