2009 was a great year for Kidworx. We had kids who would not have been able to stay in their league sports due to financial issues who were blessed with scholarships, as well as a couple who needed funds for high school sports. We never imagined that high school baseball could be $400.00! After calling the school and seeing if they could help at all (they didn’t), our committee decided to go ahead and commit the $400.00. Thankful does not even begin to describe it.
The relationships between the kids and their parents were strengthened as they were able to say YES to the programs for their kids. We were even able to help more kids by negotiating with some of the leagues and schools for matching funds, reduced rates, and in some cases their own scholarship programs.
The kids have been great volunteers, selling tickets, working the yard sale, volunteering at Christmas and just giving back. What a great program for the community. Thank you to everyone involved.
