Ventura County Children and Family Services has joined forces with RaisingHOPE and a number of other community partners in support of foster youth in Ventura. Join us on May 2, 2015 for the only community event of its kind, the 3^rd annual HOPE4Kids Festival & Run.

You can participate in the 5K/10K as an individual or team or support your children in the 1 Mile Fun Run. Funds raised will directly benefit foster youth in paying for needs not covered by Medi-Cal, the county or other organizations. Past HOPE4KIDS Festivals and Runs have proudly helped hundreds of foster youth afford orthodontia, college textbooks, sports equipment, camp and extracurricular activity fees, and more!

Ventura County CFS will be managing the Adoption and Foster Fair at the festival, featuring mini-biographies of children in need of loving homes and staffed by licensed social workers to answer any questions you may have about adoption and foster care.

If you’re not a runner, you, your friends and family are still welcome to attend the festival and can enjoy silent auctions, food trucks, face painting, and community performances!

Support the youth in our community! Visit www.hope4kids.myevent.com for registration details AND stop by the Adoption and Foster Fair tent to learn more!
