Activity 3

Christmas For Kids PartyHundreds of thousands of children currently reside in some form of foster care in the United States. These children have been removed from their homes because it is no longer a safe place for them to live. Typically children in care have experienced some form of neglect and/or physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Other reasons for foster care are severe behavioral problems in the child and/or a variety of parental problems including illness (mental or physical), abandonment, incarceration, alcohol/substance abuse and death. Due to multiple moves and placements, these children often struggle academically and find it difficult to form friendships and develop interests. For children in foster care, the holidays are an important and often hard time in their life. In 2011, over 350 children and foster families, living in Guilford and Forsyth Counties, NC, were invited to the Kevin Harvick Foundation Annual Christmas For Kids Party. The private event includes presents, games, arts & crafts, music, sports, entertainment and a visit from Santa, Kevin Harvick and friends. Also, Chase Your Dreams Scholarships are awarded at the event.
