Give Kids the World!

We are so grateful to everyone who supported our Ice Cream for Breakfast fundraiser for Give Kids the World Village on Saturday, August 27th! Give Kids the World Village is a storybook village for children with life threatening illnesses and their very deserving families. While their kids jumped with joy in the bounce house, had their faces painted with flowers or monster trucks, and ate ice cream until they nearly burst, the parents of these children talked of their shared experiences of caring for their little ones.
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites and the Wellington Banquet and Conference Center sponsored this event as a day of service to the community. Hotel employees scooped ice cream, poured lemonade, handed out raffle prizes, and talked to families who came out to support this great event.
We cannot forget those who helped make this fundraiser possible! Raffle prize donors included Red Lobster, Kids Hair Safari, Texas Roadhouse, Cheddars, All American Car Wash, McAlisters Deli, Cotton Patch Café, Cici’s Pizza, Walmart, Pecan Shed, and the Wichita Falls Convention and Visitors Bureau. Other partners include Creative Portraits, McGruff the Crime Dog, Office Depot, US Foods, Times Record News, KAUZ, KFDX, and Coca Cola.
Thankfully, many of the families we spoke with have children in remission or nearing the “all clear” mark! It was our pleasure and delight to meet these wonderful people and everyone else who came out in support of the Give Kids the World Village fundraiser.
