We had an egg-cellent easter!
a note from our founders
You all have done it again!! Thank you to everyone who made this Easter event possible. When we started Make a Kid Merry, we knew that we wanted it to be something long-lasting and impactful within our community. We are so fortunate that we are able to expand into doing other events to continue the sponsorship and uplifting of our local youth. This spring, we transformed into "Make a Kid Hoppy" where we not only able to provide Easter baskets for 27 children, but also able to host an egg hunt for our families. They came out on a beautiful, sunny day where we grilled out for everyone, hid 500 eggs full of candy and toys, and gave the children their personalized baskets. It was a great event and none of it would've happened without those who continue to support our mission. Thank you!!
our donation goals
This Easter, we set out with the goal of sponsoring 25 children. Thanks to our generous donors, we surpassed that in just two short weeks and were able to sponsor 27 instead!
quotes from our families
"My daughters absolutely loved the egg hunt! They had so much fun. They were so happy about their baskets filled with goodies that they wouldn't stop talking about the event for that whole day!"
"My kids had a wonderful time at the Merry Easter event. We had to fill out a form regarding the things our children like and the staff made sure to be on point with the things that was on the list. Also I have a child who has health problems and wouldn't be able to keep up or participate in the big Easter egg hunt, the staff did a separate Easter egg hunt for her to participate gathering eggs at her own pace. I really appreciated that and my daughter enjoyed it as well."
"They enjoyed themselves and would love to be kept updated for next year because it was really fun and enjoyable. They loved it."
