The kids don't have many of these events. Often, these children are taken from their homes because they are abused and neglected. This (party) makes them feel wanted.

We all get together to show we are the same. Maybe these kids don't have a mom and dad and feel different than other kids, but they're not.

People have been so generous with their time and money. When you hear a foster program in Monmouth County, it's taking care of our own. I never have a problem getting donations and have never been told no.

The amount and magnitude of all the events for children and adults is almost too much to imagine or describe.

These kids need more events like this.

This is our first outdoor meet, and we expect to have several kids in different events. Nothing is in cement yet.
