October Newsletter

 

Hello KID Auxiliary Members!


As the holidays approach, we’re entering a very exciting season of events and giving back. First, I’m thrilled to remind everyone that our Kids in Distress agency’s signature event, Elevate, is just around the corner on November 16th.This year’s theme, “The Greatest Showman,” promises a spectacular evening filled with live entertainment, dancing, and an unforgettable auction—all set to a dazzling circus theme. Tickets are still available, and as a special offer, the agency is giving Auxiliary Members $50 off each ticket with the code KIDAUX! For more information regarding ELEVATE, click here.


We’re also deep into our Thanksgiving food drive and incredibly grateful for all the support we’ve received. This year, Exquisite Catering has generously donated another 100 completed bags—we are so thankful of their support! If you are interested in contributing, please contact Cris Bomfim , Terri Molina, or Daniele Rocha to drop them off at their home or at St. Paul’s on November 17th.



Looking ahead, our Hero 5K is scheduled for January 25th. we’re excited to introduce a new sponsorship package tailored for small companies. It includes a tent at the event and a variety of marketing opportunities. If you or someone you know is interested in sponsoring, please email me for more information! (Click on my name below).



That’s all for now! I look forward to seeing many of you at our next general meeting, where you’ll hear even more about all we do for Kids in Distress and the many ways you can get involved. Wishing you all a warm and Happy Thanksgiving—I am so grateful to be part of this incredible KID Auxiliary.


With Gratitude,

Sandi Hertzbach

UPCOMING EVENTS

Annual KID Hero 5K

The 20th Annual KID Hero 5K presented by UKG and hosted by the KID Auxiliary is a family fun day for all.


On January 25, 2025, participants will release their inner superhero by dressing up in their best costume solo or with sidekicks as they run/walk in support of 20,000+ vulnerable children and families in our community. Virtual participants can join forces from January 5-25, 2025, by running or walking 3.1, anytime…anywhere. 


Our goal is to collect $110K and gather 700 participants.


We are looking for adults/teens volunteers to help us to secure some sponsorships (see packet links below) and also promote the run by tagging cars in local races.

KHK Corner

We have been busy supporting KID

Wrapping up the spooky season and diving into one of gratitude, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the over 30 volunteers who came out to help with the KHK Halloween party! Your time, energy, and enthusiasm helped to make the celebration a huge success and bring so much joy (and candy!) to all of our kids. Now, as we move toward the season of giving, we want to remind everyone that complete bags for the Thanksgiving food drive can still be dropped off at St. Paul’s church on November 17! Any contributions make a huge difference in ensuring those in need have a warm, hearty meal this Thanksgiving. Thank you all for your kindness and continued support!
