In 1985, we became a United Way agency. In addition, we have had several fund raising events over the years. Our most popular event is our Annual Gift Wrap Fundraiser which enlists the aid of more than 1,000 volunteers to man booths and wrap presents for customers at Hamilton Place Mall. It begins the morning after Thanksgiving and lasts through Christmas Eve. We have also sponsored Golf Tournaments, Fishing Tournaments, Rummage Sales, Dinners and Auctions. In 2003, we published �Cooking with the Kids� and a Kids on the Block calendar. During 2004, we are celebrated our 25th Birthday/Anniversary. The cost per child of a KOB program is approximately $9, but the value of a program to help a child understand a difficult situation is beyond any dollar value.
