All children participating this year 2006
have already been nominated and notified!

Up With Kids - Back To School Shopping will be held again this year to take 150 children (ages 5-12) on an escorted shopping trip for back to school clothes.
($100 per child!)

Additionally, we will again provide a Back to School "goodie bag" of needed school supplies, Payless Shoe Source will provide shoes, Senor Sanchos will sponsor backpacks and Target will provide breakfast and socks along with the shopping venue. We also give the kids tee shirts of the event. And, of course, the children will get a ride in the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon, compliments of RE/MAX of California & Hawaii.

We have 4 contributors to help with sponsoring the children
