Please join the Wonder Women Team in the fundraising effort for this event.
I am a member of the Team Wonder Women. Our team is made up of women who work in the foster care/adoption field. We are all passionate about the care of children in Iowa's foster care system.
I have a hard enough time squeezing into my Wonder Woman tights and costume every day, not to mention trying daily to make sure our team puts forth a "super hero" effort for Iowa's children - so we could use all the help we can get.
Funds raised by our group will benefit the Iowa Friends of Foster Children Foundation as well as the Iowa Foster and Adoptive Parents Association.
The intention of the Iowa Friends of Foster Children Foundation is to provide “quality of life” opportunities to abused and neglected children in Iowa’s foster care system – items the children and their foster families can not afford to cover or purchase.
The items purchased remain with the child through any changes in their placement. Examples include:
- Summer camp scholarships; Music lessons, equipment; supplies, instrument rental; Sports fees and equipment such as track shoes, swimming lessons, ball gloves, etc.; Dance lessons and equipment, Senior pictures, class rings and graduation expenses.
The Iowa Foster and Adoptive Parents Association provides support, training and resources for Iowa's foster, adoptive and kinship families.
