Hello Friends and Family!
Eric and Ashley (along with any others who would like to join team "Number First!") will again be participating in the IFAPA Stride for Foster Care fundraiser. HOWEVER, this year in addition to a walk- there will be a 5k run! AWESOME. The day will include a run/walk followed by lunch and some children's activities. We would LOVE for you to join us.
Can't make it? That's okay! You may still support the cause by contributing to our fundraising page- any donation big or small makes a large difference in the life of a child! Last year Eric and Ashley passed their goal of raising $300, so this year their team goal is to raise $450. Help them reach their goal!
All proceeds will be going towards IFAPA's Friends of Children in Foster Care Program. This is an excellent program which provides grants to Iowa's children in foster care for special "extras" in life which they may otherwise not receive.
Examples of "extras" which are helped to be funded through this program include: Sports fees/equipment, swimming lessons, summer camp (1 week max), Music lessons/instrument, Prom attire, Senior pictures, class ring, yearbook, graduation expenses (cap/gown,etc), college application fees, and more.
Again, these are opportunities that the children may otherwise be unable to recieve or participate in. Any and all support is greatly appreciated!
More info on the Friends of Children in Foster Care Program and how to register for the Stride for Foster Care event may be found at: https://ifapa.ejoinme.org/?tabid=429538
If you have any questions- contact Eric or Ashley!
Thank you so much for your support!
