KYUMH Annual Day 2010
September 29, 2010
The Friends of The Children is the auxiliary support group that sponsors the Annual Day events. They were happy to report that with the Live and Silent Auctions, Bake Sale, and donations, the grand total came to approximately $12,000. The mission of the Friends of the Children is to show the children that adults believe in them and want to encourage them by providing the “extras” that make their stay at The Kentucky United Methodist Homes for Children & Youth more pleasant and rewarding. Their support helps to provide special wants for the children, such as birthday celebrations, sports equipment, entertainment, and Bible study books. They wish to thank all the volunteers and staff who helped make the day a success!
