In the past couple of months, Kids First has been very proud to be working with a local school to help raise funds for a little girl named Grace.

 

Kids First was approached by a caring assistant principal about a family going through a tragic time. Something none of us hope to know – dealing with a young child with incurable, inoperable  cancer. We spoke with little Grace’s family and learned of their needs for funds to help pay for a new wheelchair and alternative treatments. Through the school and Kids First, the community was able to raise $52,000 with $22,000 of the donations coming directly through our charity. We hope to have brought a small ray of sunshine into a dark time for this family. Thank you to everyone who reached out to Grace.

 

Summer is here and truthfully, these are lean months for Kids First. We cross our fingers that our wonderful community will remember that even a small donation to Kids First can make a big difference. There is always a family who is in need of the most basic of necessities and it is Kids First that seems to be first on their doorstep with a meal, clothes, medicine and hope.

 

With this in mind, a group of very dedicated volunteers has come together to organize a series of summer fundraisers for Kids First. “Weddstock”. For 4 Fridays this summer, we invite you out to Hunter Farms in Weddington for an evening of music, food and family fun! All proceeds from these events benefit Kids First. We hope to have enough to even help with some back to school needs (hard to think of school in July!). We’ll see ya there!
