Kidz 4 Kamp Tea Party Fundraiser

What happens when you gather a bunch of people, collect some great donations from local businesses and individuals, and assemble some terrific entertainment and treats? You have a fantastic fundraiser, of course!

On November 19 th , our family sponsored a tea party fundraiser to raise funds for LWB's Kidz 4 Kamp program. As you may know, K4K sends orphans to summer camps led largely by Chinese professionals. Last summer children participated in 5 different camps for music, art, sports, and physical therapy. Our goal is for 10 camps this summer!

Thanks to a fabulous silent auction, an amazing professional photographer, and some great ticket sales, this event raised over $3200 for Kidz 4 Kamp!

A wonderful time was had by all; making Chinese themed crafts, eating scrumptious treats brought by participants, and watching the amazing entertainment. A local group of musicians and their students performed Chinese folk music on traditional instruments like the pipa. There was also a Chinese pre-school performance- too cute :0) and several dances performed by a local Chinese dance troupe. Finally, the icing on the cake, a speech was given by our China program facilitator Tingting, what a treat!

Many families and children's groups donated their time and resources to make this event a success. This is the true spirit of K4K, kids reaching out to other kids and serving one another.

If you would like more info on K4K, or would like to participate in one of our upcoming summer camps, please e-mail us at lisa@lovewithoutboundaries.com . Click here to see photos of the event.
