This is something I went to last year and is a nice event to help out about 70 plus families children that are not fortunate enough to have a lot to spend on Christmas. If anyone wants to participate they are more than welcome too and/or donate a toy, money or just your support to escort the children through Wal-Mart for the shopping spree. T-Rav and Myself will be going to join up with them. I post the info and the flyer if anyone is interested. Open the zip file at the bottom to view the details of the rally point for the ride. Thanks Ash
WHAT IS "CHRISTMAS for KIDS" ? It is truly a GRASS ROOTS effort by several Motorcycle groups, Churches, the NC National Guard and committed individuals to help
LOCAL "KIDS" and families that otherwise would not be able to have much at CHRISTMAS.
HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON ? This year will be our 10th ANNUAL. We started in 1999 after Hurricane Floyd flooded Eastern NC. That year we took
125 "KIDS" shopping at WalMart in Goldsboro spending $125 ea on toys & clothing. Each family also received a $75 food gift certificate.
That was just the start and each year since then, we have shopped with the "KIDS" at the WalMart in
Smithfield. Over the past 9 years we have helped over 750 "KIDS", ages infant to 16, and their families, escorting most of the "KIDS" personally on a shopping spree thru WalMart and helping others individually after the day of the shopping spree.
Last year in 2007, a total of 70 "KIDS" were escorted thru WalMart and another 18, that were not able to be at WalMart, were shopped for. As always, each family was also given a Gift Card for CHRISTMAS Dinner.
This has ONLY been possible because of the support of individuals like yourself.
HOW CAN I HELP? There are 2 ways in which you can help:
1st) By DONATING to help SPONSOR a "KID" or family.
EVERY PENNY donated goes DIRECTLY to the "KIDS" and Families
( NO OVERHEAD OR EXPENSES of any sort are taken out )
2nd) By ESCORTING a "KID" on the Shopping Trip, which is
Saturday December 13th, at the Wal-Mart in Smithfield, at 12:30PM.
WHAT DOES AN ESCORT DO? Simply an ESCORT takes a "KID" thru WalMart shopping . The ESCORT is given a gift card to pay for the purchase. Probably the MOST IMPORTANT thing is that the ESCORT shows the "KID" that someone cares.
PLEASE sign up in advance, see brochure.
IS MY DONATION TAX DEDUCTIBLE ? YES. "CHRISTMAS for KIDS" is a project of
Carolina Bikers Charities, Inc which is a "Non-Profit" 501c3 corporation approved by IRS.
