“Our backpacks vary in color and style depending on the different age groups. They are filled with supplies to start the school year based on grade level needs”, he continued.

2023 Summertime Fun Fundraiser Raised Over $21,000
The success of 2023 Summertime Fun Fundraising Event helps us continue our partnership with the Brunswick County Department of Social Services, supporting foster children and children living in difficult situations.
In addition to raising funds to help K.I.D.S., a great time was had by everyone who attended, from listening and dancing to Band of Oz, to enjoying the great food, to participating in exciting and fun auctions!
We could not do this without the generous contributions from sponsors, donors and guests.
Thank you.
