A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated money, donated time, donated giveaway prizes, and helped raise awareness for a great cause! In only 10 days all of you helped we had almost 100 people donate. AMAZING!
Together Shave For The Kids and Fostering Christmas raised not only awareness but........ over $30,000! All of your sharing, commenting and donating made it possible to give over 328 kids in the foster system Christmas gifts this year. Fostering Christmas has done amazing things, they heard about kids who by entering into the foster family system or moving households between Thanksgiving and Christmas would have not received a gift for Christmas and step up to the plate, you helped them do even more!
Last year Fostering Christmas was able to help 89 kids. This year they were able to help 328 (as of Dec 23).
Last year Fostering Christmas raised $1,500. This year Fostering Christmas took in over $30,000.

Children in the foster care system already go without so much: a stable home, parents who can support them, and even a life with their siblings. They shouldn’t have to go without Christmas, too.

Justin McCarthy and Karli Lee from Fostering Christmas went shopping!! Thanks, Target for helping our team get everything that they were looking for to help kids that just recently went into the foster system here in the Treasure Valley.
Today is the last day to donate!! Remember to these kids it means so much more than a present, it means that they are important and someone cares.

What design should the highest donator shave Justin McCarthy's beard into? We've had quite a few suggestions submitted. Here are a couple (that are family friendly...you know who you are).
Post your suggestions. PG only please, but the crazier the better.
Who is going to get to make Justin wish he did not sign up for this? Go be the largest donor and you get to make the final decision.
