KID Auxiliary December Newsletter
Auxiliary and KHK news & updates
We are a dedicated group of volunteers committed to helping over 20,000 children and families served by Kids in Distress (KID) in South Florida. Our fundraising efforts support programs provided by KID, including education, prevention, foster care, and family strengthening. As ambassadors in the community, we raise awareness for the children in foster care and the family services KID provides in the tri-county area. 
President's Message


As we enter the hustle and bustle of the holidays and good cheer with our families and friends…I wanted to send a huge THANK YOU to all of you for your continued support of the Auxiliary and the needs of Kids In Distress.

Our collection drives continue to be successful. We collected and distributed 110 costumes for Halloween, the Kids Helping KID Thanksgiving drive collected and created 1334 food bags and almost $20k in gift cards and cash donations. Rachel Danzig continues to organize dinner delivery to the homes on BOTH campuses. The Holiday Adopt A Family collection has started and the Auxiliary and KHK have adopted all five on campus homes

Our KID Hero 5K run is fast approaching and we would like to encourage each of you to get involve in one way or another. Ways you can get involved:

  • Create a team and sign up to run
  • Become a Sponsor or share a Sponsor Packet
  • Distribute posters and flyers to local businesses
  • Share the event on social media

Additional information can be found below. Cannot wait to see how many Auxiliary Teams we will have at the 5K.

I wish you a safe and memorable holiday season and remember…
Together, we will make what seems impossible, KIDpossible.

Sincerely,
Sandy Nori

KID Hero 5K Sponsors Needed
For 43 years Kids In Distress (KID) has been carrying out our mission to prevent child abuse, preserve the family, and treat children who have been abused and/or neglected. We are able to do this because of individuals, corporations, and foundations that value and invest in the lives of the children and families we serve through our education, prevention, foster care, and family strengthening programs. The generous support we receive enables us to remain the premier provider of child and family services in South Florida.

A great way to support the mission of KID is through the 19th Annual KID Hero 5K presented by UKG and hosted by the KID Auxiliary. One of South Florida’s most fun runs, the KID Hero 5K is a family-friendly run/walk where the community comes together in the spirit of support for the children and families KID serves. This year, participants may choose to run/walk the USATF 3.1 mile course in person at Vista View Park on January 28, or complete 3.1 miles “Anytime… Anywhere.” from January 8-28. Please join us as we encourage, educate, empower, and equip children and families. You, your company, or organization can get involved by sponsoring, underwriting, creating a team, and volunteering.

Thank you for your kind consideration to support our mission. Together, let’s release our inner superheroes and make the impossible, KIDpossible.

On behalf of the KID in all of us,

Mark Dhooge
