I first heard of Kids Helping Kids last week from a teacher at San Marcos High School. Later that night, at a Chamber Mixer, I was given the spiel by two students actively involved in the program. What started out as a dinner at a downtown restaurant with a portion of the night’s proceeds going to the Unity Shoppe has blossomed into a fun competition where each year’s AP Economics class tries to out do the previous year. In the end, the Unity Shoppe gains a sizeable donation, with this year’s goal being $100k.
All of the kids’ efforts culminate in a single gala dinner complete with live and silent auctions, a performance by a recording artist, and a 3 course meal. You can help by attending the event (tickets are just $65), sponsoring a table, bidding on items, or donating items to be bid on. All donations are 100% tax deductible.
The event takes place on December 11th at the Fess Parker Doubletree Resort. Doors open at 5:45 and dinner starts at 6:15.
