SPRING/SUMMER CURRENT EVENTS

What's Happening Now with Caring 4 Kids Foundation: 

• Keller Williams' RED DAY

• Boy Scouts of America, Eagle Project, Troop 101

• Check City

Keller Williams' Red Day was a huge success! Keller Williams is a nationally recognized real estate firm and the local Las Vegas office, headed by Paul May, rallied all their agents to do a food drive and personal-care drive for Las Vegas' at-risk and homeless children. Red Day is Keller William's National Contribution Day where all agents and staff where the color red and spend an entire day giving back to the community. We are excited that Keller Williams chose Caring 4 Kids Foundation as their community partner for this special day!

The staff and agents at Keller Williams organized food pantries, did personal-care and food drives, played games and outside activites with the kids during recess, and participated in storybook reading time with the children. The day was a huge success and the kids were beyond excited and grateful! Thank you, Keller Williams!

Standing Ovation to Jonathon O'Hanley of the Boy Scouts of America, Eagle Scout Project, Troop 100! We want to thank Jonathon and Troop 100 for their incredible food drive. Jonathon and friends raised over $5000 in cash and in turn, took our food list to Costco to purchase the items needed for the at-risk and homeless children of Las Vegas! They invited friends and guests to their church gymnasium to pack the food in a very fun and heart-warming way. Caring 4 Kids Foundation volunteers picked up the foods and quickly distributed it to the community. With Jonathon's leadership and the help of Troop 100, it proves that when the cause and the heart are big enough, you can always find the way! Jonathon's troop fed over 500 kids and families with their $5000 donation! Awesome job!

The Caring 4 Kids Foundation Spring Food drive with our community partners, My LVTV and Check City, was a great success!! Thousands and thousands of pounds of food were collected through the various Check City offices and locations! We want to thank the management and staff for their heart and continued support in doing their part to help feed homeless kids in the valley. The leadership that Check City continues to demonstrate is the driving force in making the food drives so incredibly successful! Thank you, Check City of Las Vegas!

Thank you to Check City and their fantastic food drive.  Throughout the month of October, the 27 Southern Nevada branches have been collecting food for Caring 4 Kids Foundation. The community donated more than 10,000 food items and $1,000.  Check City decided to tripple the cash donation...that's $3,000! The much-needed food and donations brought in by Check City are already in distribution to the kids and families of the Las Vegas Valley! Thank you, again!

Symantec Corporation Celebrates Back To School

A massive Thank You goes out to the more than 1,800 engineers of Symantec Corporation. The generous men and women attended their yearly conference at MGM Grand late August. The leaders of the corporation wanted to give back to the city that was hosting them.

This amazing company donated 600 adult-size back packs, school supplies and money to help area homeless and in-need children.  With this donation, we were able to issue all of 12 schools we service all of the back packs their children needed! 

Symantec Corporation, a computer programing company, didn't have to reach out to the Las Vegas community. We are touched that they did and could not be more proud to consider them official Community Partners.
