Caring for Children’s largest activity every year is our annual Holiday Effort. During our Holiday Effort, participants may either volunteer to sponsor child(ren) or donate money so that we can help children and families dealing with life-threatening and life-limiting illnesses during the all-important holiday season.
In 1997, 40 volunteers took care of 25 children, and last year, for our 26th Anniversary Holiday Effort, we had over 1,000+ volunteers, 20+ Corporate sponsorships, and we were able to help over 800+ children for the first time and raise the most donations ever.
Our Holiday Effort culminates in our annual Wrapping Party which provides an opportunity to gather our individual and corporate donors together for a festive afternoon where we can collectively see the incredible difference made by so many volunteers/participants. This year’s Wrapping Party will again be held at the Lexington (MA) High School Field House on Sunday, December 15th from Noon to 4 p.m.
Caring for Children utilizes the generosity of our monetary donations to not only provide additional support during the holidays to children who are not directly sponsored, but also to fund our year-round educational and enrichment activities.
Since Caring for Children is an official 501(c)(3) non-profit charity, all donation/sponsor options below are tax-deductible. For more information about each of the fundraising options, please visit our How You Can Help page.
