Latus Events worked on behalf of their client to plan an event that would be fun and meaningful for participants, while making a difference. The event was entitled “Fostering Hope.” During the activity, participants received the materials needed to make duffel bags for children entering the foster care system. Each bag included a hygiene kit, fleece blanket, coloring books and pencils, a stuffed animal, and a recorded “Message of Hope'' from the participants. The event was to benefit the Association to Benefit Children (ABC), whose mission is to offer every child a life filled with joy and love by creating compassionate programs in urgent response to the needs of New York City's most vulnerable families. All of ABC's programs respond to the unique, and often changing, needs of each child and family. ABC’s Executive Director said, “The duffel bags you prepared will go to children who will be so grateful to receive a blanket to snuggle up in an a teddy bear to call their own.
Thank you again for being such wonderful champions for our children.”

"To kick off our client’s networking event, a team building activity was developed, where groups worked to build 20 remote-control cars. The cars did not just represent a brand-new gift for a child, but also a sense of freedom while enduring hardships. The cars were given to a patient and their sibling when they checked into the Ronald McDonald House of South Florida. 'On behalf of all the families we care for at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of South Florida, we would like to thank you for the generous donation of 20 remote control cars. Your gifts allow us to make families feel welcomed during difficult times and help make the Ronald McDonald House a home.'”
